Well, I need to start blogging from somewhere and in my opinion it doesn’t need to be a typical “welcome yo!” message. So this is about what I’m working at the moment. Maybe later I can add a proper first(!) post.

Currently I’m debugging a minidump file for a remote crash and since the crash was not on my computer, I needed to tell visual studio where to find corresponding binaries in my computer (if you are not familiar with postmortem debugging, here you can find a very nicely prepared article). I know that it’s the MODPATH argument that points to local module path.

But it didn’t work… After digging around a bit, I found a little information here:

In previous versions of Visual Studio, the MODPATH argument was used to specify additional module search paths. Visual Studio 2005 looks for modules in the specified symbol search paths and does not use MODPATH.

Grrr! :)
