    Seems like that service is built in Release (ie no debug info, but optimized for performance) instead of Debug, so there you go..can’t attach a debugger to the process.

    EDIT

    Also, make sure that in the Debug configuration of the project you have the Define DEBUG constant check, and under the Advanced (C# environment, there is a button at the bottom of the Project Properties – Build Page) you have the Debug Info of the Output set to “Full”.
