Symbol Path Tree

WINDBG
1

Hi!

I have a driver that have many versions (on field).
I keep my versions history in a tree look like this:
C:\History\Version\1.0\Sym
C:\History\Version\2.0\Sym
C:\History\Version\3.0\Sym
…
C:\History\Version\25.0\Sym
and etc…

When Sym directory holds the pdb and the binary image
of my driver (the symbols).

I wonder if there is a way to define the WinDbg that
it should search for symbols actually in the whole
tree?
Now I need to define my symbol path as following:
“C:\History\Version\1.0\Sym;C:\History\Version\2.0\Sym
;C:\History\Version\3.0\Sym”…
Is there a way to give the WinDbg something like
“C:\History\Version*.*” ??

Thanks

Alon

Have you tried creating your symbol store using, symstore.exe ? That way
you will need only one path.

Hi!

Can you please tell me what is the simplest way to use the SymStore,
relaying on the example I gave with my symbol directory structure?

Thanks

Have you checked out the ‘symstore.exe /?’ output?
/r Add files or directories recursively.
/s Store Root directory for the symbol store.
/f File Network path of files or directories to add.
