Visual Studio 2019 Preview Remote Debugger

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.

In my case, no link worked for me as they all linked me to a download page for Visual Studio 2022. If you guys are searching for the msvsmon.exe files, I found them at:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Professional\Common7\IDE\Remote Debugger

Both for x64 and x86

The link above did not work for me. Downloaded it now from the following page:

Visual Studio 2019 finally got an Installer Package on the Download-Site of Visual Studio: Visual Studio Remote Tools

This package should be preferred if you need the Windows Service for Debugging another machine.

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
