visual studio – unable to connect to MS VS remote debugger named ‘VM*name*’


I have taken over a fortran project setup by somebody working on a virtual environment.

The project builds and works, but I cannot attach to a process to debug.

When I click attach to process, I get no response for a minute or so then I get the error message:

unable to connect to MS VS remote debugger named ‘VMname The debugger cannot connect to the remote computer. The debugger was unable to resolve the specified computer name.

Clicking ok. The Connection type is set to Local. I see no processes in the list. “Code type” is no engine selected but nothing is available in the drop down list

I have searched the project file. I have looked through the project settings.
