can not load symbols with WinDbg 6.5.3.8

[Lukas Rypacek]

Hello,
With the latest version of WinDbg I am not able to download any symbols from
MS Symbol server. With older version 6.4.7 it works correctly! What's wrong?
Is the 6.5.3.8 version buggy or what? What is the latest fully functional
version of WinDbg?

Thanks a lot, it took me ages just to detect it works in previous versions.
:-(

There aren't any known problems with 6.5.3.8. microsoft.com had some
problems recently. The output below has some bad-path warnings for
microsoft.com hits, so that may be the reason you were having problems. If
you try the same symbol operation now does it work?
