Vista - Do WPF apps and the CLRProfiler hate each other?

Hi friends,

I'm new on working with the CLRProfiler in .NET. I want to profile
resources of my WPF apps but this seems not to work correctly.
When clicking "Start Application ..." on the profiler panel and
selecting the *.exe, my WPF app starts runnung. Instead the CLRProfiler
does nothing at all! There is a message box showing up: "Waiting for
application to start common language runtime" - the profiler keeps
waiting and waiting and waiting.
I searched the internet and newsgroups and only found similar problems
when working with ASP.NET apps (not helpful for me). I also read the
CLRProfiler.doc and looked into the PDC05 and "HandsOnLabs Jan CTP"
sessions but without any success.

Anybody the same experience and already has a solution for it? Perhaps
there's only a DWORD missing in the registry? Or other kind of
parameter? (maybe it is because of differences in using .NET 2.0)

Thanks
Chris :-)

Theoretically it shouldn't know the difference between WPF or any other .NET
app. Perhaps this is a silly question, but I'll throw it out there just to
make sure: Are sure you're using the CLR Profiler for .NET 2.0[1] and not
1.x???

Cheers,
Drew
