I'm trying to debug my property page provider application on 32bit variant
of Vista Ultimate by using WinDbg with a serial connection to try and
capture the snapshots being sent by the "OutputDebugString" calls, but
nothing comes out to the command window! The same application works just
fine under Windows XP, Server 2003, and Windows 2000.

I've inserted the "IsDebuggerPresent" and "DebugBreak" function calls only
to learn that the former returns a FALSE to the local variable receiving the
value when the breakpoint is hit on the latter call. What isn't clear is
why the debug connection is established and control is passed to the
debugger, yet "IsDebuggerPresent" returns a false and "OutputDebugString"
calls are not routed through the connection?

I've tried setting the "Debug Print File" as defined in
http://www.osronline.com/article.cfm?article=295, but to no avail. Is there
another trick to getting debug print statements out of Vista to WinDbg that
I'm missing?

multipost.

Well, since my roaming profile on Windows 2000 got scrogged and I had to
restore everything, it seems as though the indicated newsgroup does not even
appear to be available to subscribe to anymore!

So I am I to assume that the response given here means receiving the chance
of getting any response is slim and none? Small wonder Vista is getting
such a bad rap by those who really have to use and provide IHV support for
it!

I suppose I tell our sales and marketing that Vista drivers will be awhile
why we try to figure out all the things that were working just fine but were
changed because someone had a better idea, some of which were undocumented.

I also find that even the google access does not recognize the indicated
newsgroup.

Am I to assume this is the microsoft.public.windbg newsgroup?

Yeap. It was a typo. Sorry about that.
