On Windows there are 2 approaches used:

   1. Install the PDB files alongside the application, this allows WER to
   annotate the dump logs produced with symbols.
   2. Set up a public symbol server, add the symbols to that and then
   anyone can set their Windows debugger to pull the appropriate symbols from
   the symbol server. The correct symbols are automagically retrieved.
