The last version that is working properly for me is 0.9.8. Since version 1.0.0 there is some problem when launching debugger in Windows.
I can see my app lauching but only during a second, after that the app is closed and the debugger keeps waiting to connect. My app crashes in the call to luaL_newstate() launching a "Module not found" exception in the remotedebug.dll.
This is the client.log contents when I launch the debugger. I hope it helps. Tell me if you need more info:
