System DBG files not found
Hi Matthew,
You can check the symbols using it's time stamp. If the timestamp doesn't
match, the symbols may not be matched. You can use "dumpbin -headers
ntdll.dbg" and "dumpbin -headers ntdll.dll" to check the time stamp.
In {*filter*}ion, you may want to use a symbol server so that the symbols can
be downloaded from the web directly. Here are the steps:
1. Download and install the latest "Debugging Tools for Windows" kit from
http://www.*-*-*.com/
2. After installing the latest debugging tools, locate the SYMSRV.DLL file
in the "\Program Files\Debugging Tools For Windows" or "c:\WINDBG" folder.
Debugging Tools may have been installed in different folder, so if you
don't find one of the above mentioned folders, then search on your drives
for SYMSRV.dll.
3. Shut down Visual Studio .NET if it is open. Copy SYMSRV.DLL to the
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Common7\IDE" folder. The
next time when you will start Visual Studio .Net, it can use the SYMSRV.DLL
file to find symbol servers which you specify.
To set the symbol server in _NT_SYMBOL_PATH environment variable, please
refer to the article below:

| I'm running Win2K with SP2 and SP2 Security Rollup Package 1. I have
| downloaded and installed the Win2K symbols, the Win2K SP2 symbols and the
| SP2SRP1 Symbols (in that order). I'm using VS Studio.Net
|
| When I start my C++ app in the de{*filter*}, symbols are loaded for nearly all
| of the system dll's referenced by the app. But the symbols for ntdll.dll,
| comctl32.dll, and shell32.dll don't load ("Cannot find or open a required
| DBG file").
|
| The corresponding DBG files are in my WINNT/Symbols/dll directory. Any
| ideas why these DBG files aren't loading? Wrong versions perhaps? How
can
| I determine the version of the DBG files?
