You will need to install Visual Studio 2010 or Visual C# 2010 Express.

iX Developer must be configured to target the correct Visual Studio executable in order for the debugging to work. You can configure the target executable under "iX" -> "Options" -> "Script Debugger options" -> "Debugger".

If you get a compile error about .NET Framework 4.0 not being installed, you can change the project settings to target the ".NET Framework 3.5" and re-compile.

If you continue getting exceptions and are unable to debug your project, you can change your workspace to a "Panel Type" of PC and debug. You may want to do this after making a copy of your project.
