VC6 with Windows debug symbols?
-
I'm trying to get VC6 to use the Windows Debug Symbols, but VC6 does not load them from the installed location (c:\windows\Symbols\...). I have setup the _NT_SYMBOL_PATH to point to the proper dir. I have tried putting some directories in the PATH: c:\windows;c:\windows\Symbols;c:\windows\Symbols\Dll. Neither is successfull with VC6 (But WndDbg is loading symbols alright). OTOH when I copy the .PDB to the same directory as the DLL they match VC6 happily loads them symbols. What's going on? Is there some setting in the VC6 environment that I should have made? If it matters then I am on WinXP, with VC6 SP5 applied. MBHansen

VC6 loads only .dbg file from _NT_SYMBOL_PATH not .pdb. There was a kb article about it.

Does this mean that there is no way that VC6 will find .pdb files for for example kernel32.dll, EXCEPT if the kernel32.PDB is placed in the same directory as kernel32.dll? Do you have some info about the KB article? I tried searching for variations over the following words: VC6 VC PDB DBG _NT_SYMBOL_PATH... MBH
