So far, I have encountered three missing symbols on the MS symbol
server:
The first, the version of msvbvm60.dll shipped with Vista SP1.
The second, the English version of mshtml.dll shipped with security
update MS08-078 for Vista SP1.
The third, the Simplified Chinese version of winsrv.dll version
5.0.2195.7135.
Also, I have encountered a mispaired symbol.
The DBG file for version 6.0.96.90 of msvbvm60.dll was published
without publishing it's PDB. While in this case it isn't fatal because
msvbvm60.dbg contains COFF symbols, it is still probably because of a
mistake.

Also, the SP1 version of msvcr90d.dll has only public symbols, while
the original version has full private symbols.

Get an older version and put it with the .exe file.

Hello Yehong.

Microsoft does not commit to put up symbols for everything on this site.
Product teams that build the bits make the decision to publish or not.
Furthermore, I am afraid that the people that own that site do not monitor
this newsgroup. You might be better served by finding the forums that
produce the bits you want to debug. Unfortunately, I don't personally have
that information.

I know, this is why I don't expect symbols for say Office to be on the
symbol server.
Except for mfc40.dll, all the file I mentioned have other versions
that have symbols on the symbol server.

That is exactly what I did for another set of files with symbol
problems:
