SUMMARY
The debugging information for the system dynamic-link libraries (DLLs) is contained separately in files with a .DBG extension. The Win32 SDK setup, SETUPSDK, will install the following .DBG files by default in \SYMBOLS\DLL:

  ADVAPI32.DBG           OLECLI32.DBG COMDLG32.DBG          OLESVR32.DBG CRTDLL.DBG            RASAPI32.DBG DLCAPI.DBG            RPCNS4.DBG GDI32.DBG             RPCRT4.DBG INETMIB1.DBG          SHELL32.DBG KERNEL32.DBG          USER32.DBG LMMIB2.DBG            VDMDBG.DBG LZ32.DBG              VERSION.DBG MGMTAPI.DBG           WIN32SPL.DBG MPR.DBG               WINMM.DBG NDDEAPI.DBG           WINSTRM.DBG NETAPI32.DBG          WSOCK32.DBG NTDLL.DBG For Windows NT version 3.5, the additional .DBG files are:   GLU32.DBG MSACM32.DBG OLEAUT32.DBG OPENGL32.DBG For Windows NT versions 3.51, the additional .DBG files are:   COMCTL32.DBG DHCPMIB.DBG OLE32.DBG OLEDLG.DBG RICHED32.DBG WINSMIB.DBG NOTE: These files are not installed by the alternative Win32 SDK install method, MANUAL.BAT. Therefore, WinDbg will warn that symbol information cannot be found for each of the system DLLs called by the debuggee.

These .DBG files can be manually installed by copying them from the SDK CD. For x86, they are located in \SUPPORT\DEBUG\I386\SYMBOLS\DLL. For MIPS, they are located in \SUPPORT\DEBUG\MIPS\SYMBOLS\DLL. Note that there are more than 200 .DBG files in each of these directories.

MORE INFORMATION
In Windows NT 3.1, there are also debugging versions of the system DLLs that can be installed by using SWITCH.BAT, which is located on the CD in \SUPPORT\DEBUGDLL. Refer to page 11 of the "Getting Started" manual and the batch file itself for more information.
