Is it possible. Or only I have such error ?
(The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005)......)

Yes, but Vista is *required* (and then it works here, at least). The debugger needs Wow64GetThreadContext() and some other Windows API functions only available on Vista (there are undocumented ways, but I'm not going there...).

If you have 64-bit Vista and still get this error, I need more info...

Unfortunately I have XP x64  :(.... I hope you will solve problem in future. (May be with 32-bit debugger connected through sockets or something like this)

No need. Install Pelles x86 first and Pelles x64 to the same place. Install only the x64 SDK since it has everything the x86 SDK does. Create extra links. The 32 bit tools work fine under WOW64.
