VO2740: debugging with .exe on network drive: show variable content wrong

Hello,
because of security policies only exe's under program files and on network drives are allowed to connect to our sql servers.
This is enforced by WIP (Windows Information Protection).
As I deploy my internal programs on a network drive anyway, this is no problem.
But if I try to debug an exe running on a network drive I often see valid content of variables neither by hovering over a variable nor by evaluate expression (Ctrl-X). E.g. there is a variable containing an array and it shows '.t.' or some statements later '%'.
Of course I can insert text boxes to show the values and in this case I see correct values for the above example (Array address and count of members).
Any clues how to fix this?
Conversion to X# is in progress, but still a long way to go...

VO 2740. That is from 2005. Really ? That was in the Windows XP days.
I fear that it will be difficult to fix that.

Robert,
I know, but just wanted to know if there are tips I could try.
I have to do some modifications every month but I have not yet finished converting to X#. So these minor changes take more time which I would like to spend on conversion...
