Visual Studio remote debugger "invalid access to memory location" feature -

this attempt resolve problem stated here. unfortunately topic closed without adequate resolution found, apparently original poster had issues symbols, not visual studio problem itself.

problem statement: visual studio 2012 (and 2010 same matter) stop attaching remote process after period of time "invalid access memory location". restarting visual studio fixes problem.

i on vs2012 update 3, issue occured in rtm, , intermediate updates.

the referenced thread suggests patching operating system hotfix 2588507, unable apply it, because seems not downloadable, possibly because of intermittent issue.

have addressed problem , if yes how?

i found simple workaround this. change debug port on remote machine (tools --> options). use arbitrarily high, 63342 avoid colliding existing ports need use unused one. once changed, should able connect.
