Debugging Windows 8 App using windbg

问题:

I have a Windows 8 Application Store app that needs to be debugged on one of our lab machines. The machines in the lab have windbg but do not have Visual Studio. When I launch the EXE using windbg, I get a message that says "This application can be ran only in the context of an app container".

Is there anyway to get Windbg.exe to create the app container context?

WinDbg can attach pretty much to any running process. You can start your app in a regular way from the start screen and try to attach to it after that. I used this technique when debugging Win32 services.
