I'm having the exact same problem as outlined in this post:

Could not launch xxx.exe. Previous attempt to profile the application finished unsuccessfully. Please restart the application

All the Profiling methods give the same error on my system. The type of project I'm trying to profile is XNA/C#.

The provided solution to that problem is the only solution I can find using Google but it does not apply to me as I do not have Symantec anti-virus. Also, there are no instances of the SysPlant registry key (as mentioned in the above link) on my system. I have tried disabling all anti-malware and anti-virus software on my system but still get the error. Does anyone else have any other suggestions?

I had this issue, yet bizarrely it only affected one Visual Studio solution. Using the profiler with another Visual Studio solution worked fine.

I tried:

but neither worked.

In the end I amended the registry, setting HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SysPlant\Start to 4 and rebooted, it then started working.
