I have visual micro (1212.20) for Ardunio up and running in VS 2008. 
I installed Debugger 3.3 and the install completed however I find no evidence the debugger has been installed. Specifically I find no entry to set the dubugger to "Full" 
Your instructions:
Open a simple sketch and click the project name node in the solution tree. Switch "(Micro Debug)" to "Full" in the project property viewer.  There is no line with "Micro Debug" that I can find.
Is the debugger compatible with VS2008?
Am I missing something?

Thanks for reply.   I will not have time this PM to do a screen shot but here is some info.  After review of this please let me know what else you need and I will try to provide tomorrow.
OS = Windows 7 professional,  All updates current
Have Installed  Visual Studio 2008 and Visual Web Developer 2010 Express version.
My Experience with Visual studio and C is very long time ago and with VS 6 (old old old).  I mostly do .net web development so I assume I am just missing something simple but... perhaps not.

...

When I "Left" click  (highlight) my project  then F4 does nothing.
Right clicking  shows one option is "properties". 
Clicking properties opens a window "MyProject Property Pages" with Common Properties and COnfiguration Properties as the main tree.
(I get to the same place with menu option Project => MyProject Properties)  (Alt F7)
Under Configurations Properties the sub choices are:
  Generel
  Debugging
  Linker  ... etc
Under Debugging the options are
    Command
    Command Arguments
    Working Directory
    Debugger Type  (set to Auto)
     other otpions are script, Mixed, Managed Only, Native Only 
    Environment
    Merge Environment
    SQL Debugging
(This is where I was expecting to see the Micro Debug option but nothing like that shows)
Upper right corner of the window shows Configuration Manager button
If I click Configuration Manager I get a new window named Configruation Manager.
That window shows Active solution configuration = Debug
           Active solution platform  = WIn32
And one line below that shows
Project = MyProject  (name of the Ardunio project)
Configuration = Debug
Platform = Win32

  I Found the Project Properties window View=>OtherWindows=>Properties Window.   and set (Micro Debug) to "Full".   
Thanks. Sorry, I should not be bothering you for a VS lesson. 
Now when I press F5 I get the debug window  "MyProject|Expressions on COM3" window showing "Waiting for debug breakpoint data" and a "Serial COM3" window showing "Port Open" and in the Output window I see Micro Debug Trace with the one break I entered...

There are lots of other things in the Project Properties Window (Remote Port, Pins, Remote Pin RX, Speed, Etc.) that are not set.

I will go thru the Video Tutorial again and browse for more training on how to use Debbugger. 

Is there a "manual" yet?

Can I help with documenting the set-up etc as I learn so the next poor fellow as dumb as me can get started?

Watched the tutorials and re-read the getting started and I am up and running. This is going to really help with my current project.  Great addition to Visual Micro! Thanks for the help.
