I am trying to use dumpchk.exe to examine a simple memory dump file (I used
userdump.exe to memory dump a running instance of 'cmd' to see what
information it gives.
I have installed the 'Debugging Tools for Windows' as well as the Windows XP
w/ SP2 symbols (for 32-bit), yet each time I run dumpchk, I get this error:
*** Your debugger is not using the correct symbols ***
*** ***
*** In order for this command to work properly, your symbol path ***
*** must point to .pdb files that have full type information. ***
*** ***
*** Certain .pdb files (such as the public OS symbols) do not ***
*** contain the required information. Contact the group that ***
*** provided you with these symbols if you need this command to ***
*** work. ***
I tried specifying the path by trying these commands:
dumpchk y SRV*c:\windows\symbols*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols
cmd.dmp
dumpchk -y SRV*c:\windows\symbols*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols
cmd.dmp
I also set the _NT_SYMBOL_PATH to
_NT_SYMBOL_PATH=symsrv*symsrv.dll*c:\windows\symbo ls*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols as KB311503 says to do. I still get the error.
I tried using symchk to check the symbols, and it tells me:
SYMCHK: FAILED files = 2
SYMCHK: PASSED + IGNORED files = 22
Any clue or help would be appreciated, thanks!
