I am writing a small application that prints out the call stack of a given crash dump. The code is more or less base on this tutorial: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/joshpoley/archive/2008/05/27/opening-a-crash-dump-file-automating-crash-dump-analysis-part-1.aspx?Redirected=true
The code works fine when the debug symbol is alongside the crash dump. However my application can't find the debug symbol when it lives in a symbol server. My symbol server is specified in _NT_SYMBOL_PATH
. I am pretty sure there is nothing wrong with _NT_SYMBOL_PATH
and the symbol server because when I open the crash dump in Visual Studio and WinDbg, they are able to find the symbol in the symbol server.
I added the SYMOPT_DEBUG
option to my instance of IDebugSymbols
and I get the following output:
DBGHELP: _NT_SYMBOL_PATH
:
srv*c:\localsymbols*my_symbol_server*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols
DBGHELP: Symbol Search Path
:
.;srv*c:\localsymbols*my_symbol_server*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols
I guess that means that my instance of IDebugSymbols knows about the symbol server.
Does anyone have any idea of what I am doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.
