I'm always using /Zi flag to enable debugging and I've never
had a problem with it (VS6 and VS2005-express). An important point
is that you must enable debugging at compile *and* link time: if
you link through link.exe, you must use the /debug flag; if you
link through cl, /Zi flag does it automatically.

Besides this, debugging have always worked for me. You can even
move compiled things around, the .pdb location is stored in the
executable (it does not have to be in the same dir). So you can
start a debugging session with an installed executable.
