Searching for dbgtopdb.exe

NTDEV

Can’t read a part of my .sys codeview symbols any more with windbg
6.1.17.2 and 6.0.7.0. Stripped dbg symbols with dumpbin/rebase also did
not work. Now symchk tells me to convert it with dbgtopdb.exe. Where can I
find it?

I had the same problem a few months ago. symchk also
asked me to use dbgtopdb.exe. However, I don’t think
dbgtopdb.exe is available.

I fixed my problem by using “build” utility to compile

my driver and symchk & rebase commands. Make sure
that you use symchk properly.

To answer my own question (found in the OSR DDK):

Another way to get pdb symbols that work with windbg (at least V6.0.7.0)
and the NT4 DDK is to specify

USE_PDB= 1

in your ‘Sources’ file and you don’t need neither dbgtopdb nor to do it
with symchk/dumpbin/rebase.

I still wonder why the checked sys files cv symbols don’t work anymore
like they did before.
