Remarks

Attach2 allows you to attach to a process using a specific debugging engine or set of engines. The Engines parameter can be a single BSTR, a collection of BSTRs, a single Engine object or a collection of Engine objects. If you specify it as a BSTR, the first few characters of the engine name or its ID (GUID) can be supplied. The list of engines is specific to a given Transport.
