There are different kinds of dump files so it is hard to say at this point. Is there a reason you need to use Windbg? Since you wrote the code using VS then open the crash dump file in VS directly. If you built the code from the same machine you're loading the crash dump from then everything should just work. Otherwise copy all the PDBs you have to the same directory as the crash dump and then load it.
Symbol file for UWP app
A UWP app dump file was created with the Task Manager: my_app.dmp.
I found the symbol file generated by VS for this app:
E:...\my_app.UWP\bin\x64\Release\Upload\my_app.UWP_4.6.100.0\my_app.UWP_4.6.100.0_x64.appxsym
I add the above path to the Symbol File Path of WinDbg
Debugging the dump file results in the below error:
Error: Change all symbol paths attempts to access '"E:...\my_app.UWP\bin\x64\Release\Upload\my_app.UWP_4.6.100.0\my_app.UWP_4.6.100.0_x64.appxsy"' failed: 0x7b - The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
Could anyone shed some light on this?
[Update]
The dump file has to be from a PC where VS cannot be run.
