[Qt-creator] GDB Debug helper

[Lars Amsel]

Hi,

as all the trolls were so exited about the new QtCreator I decided to give it a 
new try, even if it doesn't fit all my need (pure svn support, no autoformat to 
match the coding guidelines of our company). Especially the debugger should work 
much better then the one from the eclipse integration because of the build in 
support for the private helpers from the Qt classes.

Unfortunately I can't get it work.

My system is:
*WinXP
*Qt MinGW-4.5.2
*QtCreator 1.3 beta
*gdb 6.8

I build the helper with the button in the config. The log says:

When I start a debug process, the helper could not be loaded, because of missing 
  access privileges (see log below). I work as an unprivileged user. Running the 
same as admin works without problems. The qtc-debugging-helper folder and all 
contained files (especially the helper dll) are owned by the unprivileged user. 
Any hints?

regards Lars
