Since my old computer decided to die, I now have a new one. One that has Windows 10  . I'm currently getting everything back to running, but I now have an issue with JA2.
The game requires a colour depth of 16bpp. On the old machine, I simply set that for my system, which worked fine (apart from Origin deciding to not accept that without even a hint, which made tracking that bug a tad harder than it had to be). It seems I can no longer do that in Win10. I can solve that by setting the compatibility option on the exe, but that does not work when I try to start a new instance from VS2017. I can start the exe by hand and then attach the debugger to it, but that is not only unwieldy, it would mean I would be unable to debug stuff happening at the very beginning of an exe start... like reading xmls.
So my question is: how can I start a fresh compiled debug exe from VS on Windows 10?
Edit: To clarify, I am not talking about applying the win10 fix .dlls (they don't affect this issue, and make airspace look weird) or the registry fix, which has to be run for every exe, which is unreasonable if one builds different exes for several build locations.
I am also not referring to the 'set cpu affinity fix', as this isn't the issue here.

I know now that it could never work between us, as much as we wanted to, it could never be! Not because you're a rabbit, but because you're black.
If you want, you can donate to me. This will not affect how and what I code, and I will not code specific features in return. I will be thankful though.Report message to a moderator

Yeah, after a bit of googling I came to the conclusion that silversurfer's solution is likely the easiest solution. Since I have (or will have) ~6+ different installs to work on, it might be easiest to throw in some sort of regexp and essentially set those options on any .exe in specified subfolders.
I was just hoping that the compatibility stuff could be set via command line (doesn't seem that way), and that command line arguments could be added to our VS configuration stuff (that's probably possible. Or even some way to have all that built-in, that way users wouldn't have to solve the problem to begin with.

Nope. Additionally, edit & continue seems to behave worse for me than it did before (likely some settings I have not yet found), so coding is kinda tedious atm.
I also have weird behaviour of the game. Whenever the game is active and I select another windows application, the game loses focus, but is still displayed on top of other applications, which means that I click on the game but actually click on whatever is behind it, which is unfortunate. Not sure where that can be changed, as no other program seems to behave that way.

Oh, I know that. I still haven't gotten used to it though.
