я используюИнструменты отладки для Windows и я получаю следующее сообщение об ошибке при запуске WinDbg / cdb или ntsd:

Symbol search path is: *** Invalid ***
****************************************************************************
* Symbol loading may be unreliable without a symbol search path.           *
* Use .symfix to have the debugger choose a symbol path.                   *
* After setting your symbol path, use .reload to refresh symbol locations. *
****************************************************************************

При выполнении произвольных команд я также получаю сообщение об ошибке

*** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for <module>.<ext>

И следующее, кажется, связано:

*********************************************************************
* Symbols can not be loaded because symbol path is not initialized. *
*                                                                   *
* The Symbol Path can be set by:                                    *
* using the _NT_SYMBOL_PATH environment variable.                   *
* using the -y <symbol_path> argument when starting the debugger.   *
* using .sympath and .sympath+                                      *
