Description

Just to keep track of this.

if ((dwFields & enum_DEBUGPROP_INFO_FLAGS.DEBUGPROP_INFO_PROP) != 0)
{
    properties[i].pProperty = /* ... */;
    properties[i].dwFields |= enum_DEBUGPROP_INFO_FLAGS.DEBUGPROP_INFO_PROP;
}

to something that implements IDebugProperty2.SetValueAsString as called from https://github.com/microsoft/MIEngine/blob/69512399f0278d37d96a2b91d4818cf1c2ecd549/src/OpenDebugAD7/AD7DebugSession.cs#L1839

Research direction

Start by reading AD7RegProperty.cs and AD7RegGroupProperty.EnumChildren, then trace the SetValueAsString call in AD7DebugSession.cs. Confirm how register properties are represented and make the register entries returned by EnumChildren support the requested value-setting path; done means setting a register value reaches an IDebugProperty2 implementation.
