Symbols

WINDBG

Hi All,

I have recently installed windbg inside windows 7 in Vmware … Installed
windows SDK and Windows Symbols.

But still when I open executable “notepad.exe” inside windbg, and run
the following
dt _IMAGE_DOS_HEADER

command, it says symbol not found.

I have PATH set already
_NT_SYMBOL_PATH=SMVSRV*c:\Symbols*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols

Tried the same on windows XP ... same issues ..

Please advice.

Thanks !

Change “SMVSRV” for “symsrv”.
Next time you can use “!sym noisy; .reload” command to see why symbols were
not loaded.

Looks like a typo, it should be:
_NT_SYMBOL_PATH=srvc:\Symbolshttp://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols

Alternatively try:
!sym noisy
.symfix c:\symbols
.reload /f nt
