Hi Evan, basically you could use Microsoft's WinDbg, a free to use visual debugger. It is part of the Windows SDK, but could be installed as a standalone component by de-selecting all other features in the SDK installer. It could be downloaded from Microsoft's website at this URL: http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/default.mspx There are two possibilities to debug a program: 1.) Start the debugger and choose "Open Executable..." from File menu to run the program in question under debugger control from beginning or 2.) configure the debugger as post-mortem debugger that will catch up after a program crashed. You'll find a description on how to setup this mode in the online help of WinDbg (search indexs for "postmortem") In order to get a stack trace that contains function names instead of just some addresses you need debug symbols of the crashed program and the libraries it uses. That could either be in a separate file (*.pdb) or included inside the binary. Take care to properly configure symbol pathes (File -> Symbol File Path...). If debug symbols are not available for all resources wouldn't be a problem. best regards Michael -----Original Message----- From: wireshark-dev-bounces () wireshark org [mailto:wireshark-dev-bounces () wireshark org] On Behalf Of Evan Huus Sent: Donnerstag, 22.

I don't fully understand how our build environment interacts with windows debuggers / stack tracers. Is there a way to get a symbolic stack trace on Windows without compiling from source? Do the build-bot nightly packages include symbols?
