Further to my previous question, I find that I cannot use the GExpertsDebugWindow on a PC which did not previously have Delphi installed.

If I have the following (not unusal, so probably of interest to others) requirements, do I need to roll my own code or is there and existing and free solution?

  1. Must be able to read acorss the network (i.e., PC 1 monitors PC 2's debug output) by specifying PC 2's IP address
  2. If posible, I would like to be able to filter by process name

Thanks in advance for any help

    I posted an answer, but then noticed your requirement that it be free, so I deleted it. I've not seen anything free that satisfies your requirements, so can't help there. I posted a comment in response to the comment you just left on your original question a few minutes ago that gives a solution to the GExpertsDebugWindow problem. You should really give people a chance to respond before you post a new question. :-) Commented Aug 11, 2012 at 3:09
  • +1 Thanks,Ken. I did not excpect anyone to notce my comment to the old post, it was just for posterity's sake. Hoewever if I can use GExpertsDebugWindow on a PC that never had Delphi installed that woudl certainly help with another problem. This question still stands though, as I do need to remote access a PC in a rather inaccessable location which has mno montior, mouse or keyboard. Commented Aug 11, 2012 at 4:21

    If your question now is about remote access, it's not really a programming question any longer. :-) You can do that with VNC (Google VNC; there are free versions available from several sources); it allows remote access to the machine, even if they're "headless" (no monitor, keyboard, or mouse). But questions about that should go to SuperUser instead of here. Commented Aug 11, 2012 at 4:34
  • Have you tried SysInternals' DebugView from Microsoft? Commented Aug 11, 2012 at 9:59

    Just because it can be solved without any programming doesn't mean it's not a programming question. Debugging techniques are a quintessential programming topic. Commented Aug 13, 2012 at 18:50

Microsoft's DebugView tool has those features. It can display OutputDebugString output, even from remote systems. Depending on other factors, it can even install itself remotely.

+1 thanks, Rob. I think I might stick with GExperts and remote desktop into the machine where the program is running ....
