Debugger problem in version 18

I recently upgraded to version 18. I am attempting to debug an installation, but it is very difficult to tell what is actually running. When I step through the installation it stops on every line, regardless of whether it should be running it or not based on the value of variables used in if/else/end constructs. I originally created this project in version 17, which did not have this problem. It makes the debugger almost useless.

Could you try this? Create a new blank project and add some code like below. Do the usual pre-debug build, etc. Try debugging it. Does it still go through every statement? To be honest, I just tried debugging exactly the same and debugging worked just fine. Did you fully rebuild your actual project? I can't see why you wouldn't do so because IA will display some messages telling you about it, especially before debugging can commence.

Set Variable I to 0
if Variable I Equals 1
MessageBox: I, It's 1...
else
MessageBox: I, It's something else...
end

Dear Sjziegler,

I just tried the debugger and it works fine.

Did you try Bokkie's suggestions?
