Unable to debug IE add-in
Getting "Error while trying to run project: Unable to start debugging"

I have created a IE add-on and have pointed the "Start external program" to

C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe

When pushing F5 to run and debug, VS 2008 gives me the error "Error while trying to run project: Unable to start debugging".

Do you have any idea what can be causing this? Or am I using the wrong procedure for debugging an IE add-on?

I am using IE 8 and VS2008 SP1.

Thank you in advance

I found the solution here:

Simply add "about:blank" to the command line arguments.
