This is the first time I've ever debugged an Orbiter addon through VC++ 2008. I followed the steps on the Orbiter Wiki (That thing's kind of outdated and hard to navigate, BTW) but when I start the debugging process I get the error message "debugging information for 'orbiter.exe' cannot be found or does not match. Binary was not built with debug information." Any ideas about what I'm doing wrong?

On the Build menu under Configuration Manager I've selected Debug as the active solution configuration as well as associated settings as described in the Wiki under "debugging an addon."

That message is normal (and harmless); details here. Here is the relevant point:

2. Run the debugger. You will see an "Orbiter.exe was not built with debug information" warning, but that is normal since you're debugging Orbiter.exe. Just click continue and let Orbiter load under the debugger. What you are debugging here is your DLL, not the Orbiter core.
