You mean that the second app exits before you can attach to it?
Or something else?

There are various possible ways. For example:
- Introduce a delay at startup of the second application
(e.g. using Thread.Sleep or a message box), and use
Debug | Processes to attach to it during this timeout.
- Use hard-coded breakpoint (Debug.Break) in the second application
to break into the debugger when needed (VS.NET must be
registered as just-in-time debugger - check Tools | Options | Debugging |
Just-in-time | "Common Language Runtime")
- Use the approach descibed here to launch VS.NET automatically
when the second app is started:

(see the note about managed applications at the end)
