Install and Configure WinDBG for BSOD Analysis  

Hello all

Thank you to the author for providing such a succinct tutorial.
I am having an issue with symbols, where when I open a Memory.dmp file, an error occurs in analysis:

Code:

************* Symbol Path validation summary **************

Granted the dump file is around 2GB (is this big?). I have run the analysis a few times in the hope that symbols may be downloaded eventually, but still an issue it seems.

Can anybody see something in the text above to indicate where I may have gone wrong?

It's been reported multiple time but no resolution from Microsoft yet.

Thank you Ztruker, I must have missed that information.

In setting up the software to debug I was able to download and install. However I was not able to configure per page 1.

1. Download the WinDBG sdksetup.exe setup file.
2. Run sdksetup.exe, and specify the installation location (this example uses the default location):
2. Copy the highlighted text below, and paste it into the command prompt window using Ctrl+V and hit enter to change directory to the installation location path.

How do you associate the .dmp files with WinDBG when the above copy paste command does not work?
Are there any other commands that may need modification?

Please explain....stuck on step #2.......Windows 10 Forums what should be copied and pasted now that the above does not work and how do you check the progress?
