"Start external program" in Visual Studio 2003 doesn't work since installing 2005

Hi,

This morning I installed Visual Studio 2005 side-by-side 2003. The
first problem I've noted is that projects in 2003 that have "Start
External Program" set don't do that. I'm creating a DLL plug-in for
ArcMap (an ESRI product), so I set the external program to point to its
EXE.
When debugging, it shows the splash screen of the application it's
supposed to start, then bombs with no error message, and the debugging
stops (just returns happily to the IDE).
I've set the external program to something other than the one I'm
using, just to check it isn't ArcMap, but get the same symptoms (splash
then crash).

Any clues?

Cheers,
Lachlan
