How to remotely debug COM object

I have a COM .dll that I would like to debug. It was compiled under a debug configuration and runs on a remote computer. The program that instantiates the object runs as a service on the same computer.

When I tried to perform this on a local computer, I configured the package to "Launch in debugger". When the debugger started, there was no source code, just the disassembly window. I think this is caused when the source code is in a different path than what was used when it was compiled.

Even if I copy the source code to an equivalent directory on the target machine, how does the object know to start the compiler on *my* machine, rather than the computer on which this code runs?

Thanks in advance,

There is a remote debugger. Try to use it.
