[QUOTE="Inker, post: 243494, member: 10541"] I don't know about 2005, but I ran 2008 express for a bit. The express line seems to miss configuration options to start external programs and attach to them. To my surprise, a project that was done in 2008 prof and then opened in express did launch and connect to the external app though, you just can't configure it inside VS. Locate you're csproj.user file, and in the config you want, try adding the following: [CODE]<PropertyGroup Condition=" '$(Configuration)|$(Platform)' == 'Debug|AnyCPU' "> <StartAction>Program</StartAction> <StartProgram>h:\MP2\xbmc\bin\Release\mediaportal.exe</StartProgram> <RemoteDebugEnabled>false</RemoteDebugEnabled> <StartWorkingDirectory>h:\MP2\xbmc\bin\Release\</StartWorkingDirectory> </PropertyGroup>[/CODE] Obviously you also need to set up post-build events to copy the dll into the correct directory. Again I don't know if this works in 2005 express. [/QUOTE]
