Hi,

I want to get symbols of any version of contacts.dll, not only the one
located in my system.
I tried to find the symbols of the installed version and it is not available
but symmbols of any version of the dll are useful for me.

Is there any way to get which version of the dll has symbols if any?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Pipaman.

I don't know what product contacts.dll ships in, but if it is in some
version of Windows, there is a good chance you could find the symbols in the
appropriate SDK symbols package.

Hello Pat,

Thank you for your answer.

Contact.dll is inside the Windows Live Contacts (desktop application). I
don't know if the dll is shipped in any SDK, there is an SDK to access
contacts by web but I don't want this.
Is there any way to know if there is an entry of this dll in the symbols
database?

Thanks,
Pablo

Hello Pablo.

The SDK I was referring to was the Windows SDK. You have told me this is
from live.com so it think it is safe to say there are symbols in the SDK. I
have no information on whether symbols are available for the live.com stuff.
I know that there is a contacts.pdb in our internal symbol store. That can
sometimes mean that there are similar bits on the externally available site.
However it is not a sure thing or even probable. Also, this site is
deliberately configured not to support browsing so there is no supported way
to look at or download from your location. That is not to say that someone
hasn't written some tool that can grab a specific file by calling
SymFindFileInPath from dbghelp.dll.

Are you experiencing a crash in the Live Mail client? What is the problem
you are addressing?

Ooops. A pretty big typo.

so I think it's safe to say there are NO symbols in the SDK.
