I’m trying to install the Windows Debugging Tools via the Windows SDK and after two attempts I am at a loss for what to do. I start the installation and receive no errors at all but the debugging tools (windbg and kd) are nowhere to be found… The log is next to useless:
9:16:59 PM Monday, July 18, 2011: [SDKSetup:Info] Config_Products_DetermineProductState_End: Product: Windows Debugging Tools
9:16:59 PM Monday, July 18, 2011: [SDKSetup:Info] Config_Products_DetermineProductState_Begin: Product: Redistributable Components for Application Verifier and Windows Debugging Tools
9:16:59 PM Monday, July 18, 2011: [SDKSetup:Info] Config_Products_DetermineProductState: Product: Redistributable Components for Application Verifier and Windows Debugging Tools; Installed: Unknown;
Does anyone have any suggestions as to where to start debugging why I am unable to install the debugging tools? Oh, the irony!
You can find the installer packages at (Windows SDK x86 or x64 DVD root)\Setup\WinSDKDebuggingTools and WinSDKDebuggingTools_amd64. Please use them to install the Debugging Tools.
Note that due to Microsoft’s favourite game of messing up download links and files, you will have to use a search engine to locate the latest download link for the ISO images. I would not track that always in this answer.
