In Visual Studio 2017, I run the remote debugger server (MSVSMON) on my local machine as an administrator so that I can attach the debugger to IIS without Visual Studio needing to run as an administrator.

When running Visual Studio 2019 Preview, the attach the debugger dialog doesn't seem to detect the MSVSMON process and so can't connect.

Is there a new version of MSVCMON? I've tried using Bing / Google with no luck. Is it just a bug in 2019 that it can't detect but it should?

Any suggestions how I can resolve this would be appreciated. This is a critical part of my workflow.

I found it. They haven't published a package for the current preview but the debugger is included in the standard install at:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Preview\Common7\IDE\Remote Debugger\x64\msvsmon.exe
