 Last reviewed: November 2, 1995
Article ID: Q106066
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Win32 Software Development Kit (SDK), versions 3.1, 3.5, 3.51, and 4.0

The printed and online documentation for remote debugging with WinDbgRm fail to mention one requirement. The binaries must be in the same drive and directory on both the target machine and the development machine.

WinDbg also expects to find the source files in the same directory in which the the binary file was built, but will browse for the source if it is not found in this location. WinDbg will automatically locate the source if the files are specified to the compiler with fully qualified paths.
