Trying to use profiler without database

[Guest]

Hi, I'm trying to use profiler with Web Developer 2005 express. I set it up
in my & it won't work. I get an erro saying the object is not set.

I did a quick search which said I need to run Visual studio command prompt &
run some utility but I don't think express has a command prompt.

Is there a way I can set profiler up so that it doesn't rely on setting up
whatever it is in this command prompt issue? Can I perhaps create an XML file
to do the job instead? Why can't you use it 'out of the box'?

I'm lost; it seems you can't just use profiler without doing something in VS
command prompt which I don't have (?)

Below is the XML for the profiler in my web.cofig:

<anonymousIdentification enabled="true"/>
<profile enabled="true">
<properties>
<add name="PostalCode" allowAnonymous="true" />
</properties>
</profile>


Thanks very much for anybody who can shed some light on this
