You don't have permission to open this file!

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.
