Visual Studio 2022: where is: Debug > Start Action > Start external program


I'm following this tutorial instructing me to set this configuration:

Click on Debug tab, and in Start Action section choose Start external program. To the corresponding textbox, set the path to the kd_app.exe / cp.exe file in your KitchenDraw / InSitu installation folder.

But on my Visual Studio 2022 I cannot find such a config:

Question

  • Where is the config for this: Debug > Start Action > Start external program?
  • Is it possible to switch to a classical properties dialog just like the one inside the tutorial?

Solution

  • The Open debug launch profiles UI link has to be clicked:

    Debug section

    Then, A new Executable profile has to be created to be able to access the configuration for Path to the executable to run. Make sure to delete the previous outdated profile.

    New profile
