How to: Install the Visual Studio Debugger Proxy Service
To detach a native C++ program under Windows 2000, you must be running the Visual Studio Debugger Proxy (dbgproxy) service. To detach from a program on a remote machine running Windows 2000, the remote machine must be running the dbgproxy service.
