    Hello!
    I am trying to read a minidump using WinDbg but I got this problem instead.

    Have you done it? Probably not, as the .dmp file icon in the screenshot says.
    Once installed, associate .dmp files with Windbg by entering the following in a command prompt:
    Code:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Debuggers\x64\windbg.exe" -IA
    If Windbg is installed in a different location, change the command accordingly. Just a heads-up, the -IA part is case sensitive. Confused the heck out of me when I first tried it, as most commands are not case sensitive.

    When done, open a copy of Windbg, go to File > Symbol file path, and copy/paste:
    Code:
    SRV*c:\symbols*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols
    You can replace C:\symbols with any other path you'd like the symbol cache to be stored on. If you have a low-capacity SSD, be warned the folder can grow to a couple GBs.

    After that, you can just double-click on the dmps and it will open.

    Thank you for your reply. I apologised for my one week late reply. I will follow what you have mentioned before doing anything further.
