Remote Debugger for new processes

[NewsBot]

I'm doing a lot of remote debugging lately, and I'm having problems when debugging an app that throws an exception during startup. I can attach a remote debugger to a running process, but then I'll miss the errors in the beginning. I would like the ability to start a new process already attached.

 

Is this possible with the VS2005 remote debugger as-is? If not, is it possible to build some sort of bootstrapper that can run, attach the debugger and then launch my own app? Process.Start won't do since it'll launch a new, unattached process. I was thinking of doing Assembly.Load() for my EXE and looking for the static void Main() to run, but that seems overcomplicated.

 

Am I missing something trivial here?
