Symstore.exe error

[befish]

Hello,

I'm trying to create a symbol server, and I'm routinely seeing an error when
I try to process a directory:

SYMSTORE ERROR: Class: Internal. Desc: Failed to index C:\...\chidsk.pdb.
Line: 169. Error 87:

SYMSTORE: Number of pointers stored = 2
SYMSTORE: Number of errors = 1
SYMSTORE: Number of pointers ignored = 43

c:\>symstore.exe add /r /p /l /f C:\...\*.* /s C:\test1 /t "LS" /v "testv1" /o

In the case of the error and the command line I replaced the actual path
with the elipse, they are explicit in both places.

Where can I find documentation on symstore? What is causing the error?
Thanks,
Brian

Hello Befish.

Symstore is documented in debugger.chm. It can be easily found in the
index.
Error 87 is "Invalid Parameter". I can't say what that means in this case.
You should run symstore with the /o switch and see if you can determine
which file is erroring and why.
Symstore /? provides some details not described in the documentation.
