Symbols for Windows Server 2008 RC1?

[Guest Don Gra]

Hi,

 

We are currently trying to certify our device drivers for Windows Server

2008 RC1 but the person running the WHQL tests tells me that we need the

operating system symbols in order to perform one of the WHQL tests (which we

need to run successfully in order to submit for certification).

 

Does anyone know where I can get the symbols for Server 2008 RC1?

(I need both the x64 and x86 symbols.)

 

Thanks, Don.

Set a system evironment variable named _nt_symbol_path

point to the following value

SRV*c:\symbols*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols

 

Create a folder c:\symbols. Ensure you have internet conenction available on

teh system.

 

This should give you all the public symbols available from Microsoft. Hope

this helps.

Hi Gurpreet,

The person performing the WHQL tests here tried what you suggested but it

failed. I've listed the results below. You can see that it was unable to

find the kernel symbols.

Thanks, Don.
