Recently I had to debug one of our research application for memory leaks. It is developed in Visual Studio 2010 as 64 bit .Net application with considerable amount of unmanaged (Win32 API) calls. Since I have Visual Studio 2010 Pro, thought of debugging in VS itself, for just a change.
.load "C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\sos.dll"
But it ended up as
Error during command: extension c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework64\v4.0.30319\sos.dll could not load (error 193)
Oh I forgot one thing, we cannot debug 64 bit applications in VS 2010 because VS 2010 process is running as 32 bit even the OS and machine are running in 64 bit. I can see devenv.exe is a 32bit process in Task Manager, but I am not sure about the reason but people says it.
Thats fine. I changed the application to x86 ie 32 bit. Then I tried to load sos. But surprised to see another error message.
.load C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\SOS.dll
Error during command: IDebugClient asked for unimplemented interface
Error during command: Exception c0000005 occurred at 2A5E7EAE
This is interesting. I had no other way except googling the same error message. The first result itself told that there is an issue reported to Microsoft on this

I have .Net 4.5 installed in my machine which I cannot un-install for this silly thing. Yes I had to go back to WinDbg, the command line world to do my job.
How to debug in Visual Studio using sos extensions
Initially I enabled the unmanaged debugging in the project properties which is the first thing to do when starting sos debugging in VisualStudio. Then I tried loading sos as usual in Immediate window..load "C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\sos.dll"
But it ended up as
Error during command: extension c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework64\v4.0.30319\sos.dll could not load (error 193)

If there is .Net 4.5 installed we cannot load sos in VS 2010
