Hi All,
While attempting to remote debug I'm receiving the following erron on the
host machine:

"Error while trying to run project: Unable to start program
'Y:\DynamicPlayerPanelUI\DynamicPlayerPanelUI.exe'.
The system cannot find the path specified."

I have msvsmon setup on my remote machine with authentication turned on and
permissions set to allow me to debug from my host. I have VS 2005 with a C#
Windows project setup on my host witrh Use remote machine checked and
pointing to my remote machine. I have the output directory and working
directory pointing to the remote machine. The project builds and the exe and
pdb files end up on the remote machine in the expected folder. I can double
click on the exe on the remote machine and it runs.

And one more thing - The msvsmon window on the remote machine says I'm
connected when I click on Start Debugging on the host.

Fixed!
In the project properties dialog select the Debug tab. In the Start Action
group select Start external program and in the edit box type the full path to
the executable as seen on the host machine.
