Is there a way to install the latest WinDbg on Win2003?

I still work primarily on Win2003. I noticed that a new WinDbg 6.2.9200.16384 recently came out (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/gg463009.aspx) and it resolved an issue that I was having. The .MSI installer did not run (allegedly because I need a new “service pack”). I did a copy of the files from my Win7 machine to my Win2003 machine and WinDbg seems to work fine.

Is there a way to run the official installer on Win2003? Am I losing anything by just copying the files? Namely, do I need to register some .DLLs or something?

Thanks!

Definitely used to work for me, though I can’t say that I’ve tried with
that release.

Mm

install to windows kits and drag drop the c:\program files\windows
kits\8.0\debuggers<bitness>
has worked for me including the 9200 release

>cd “c:\Program Files\Windows Kits\8.0\Debuggers\x86”

C:\Program Files\Windows Kits\8.0\Debuggers\x86>kd -kl -c “version”

Microsoft (R) Windows Debugger Version 6.2.9200.16384 X86

the standalone package that downloads about 70 odd mb (some .net blah
blah for installer you can grab the msi from that package and install
too )works fine iirc
