    text
    copied!<p>I'm trying to use WinDBG to analyze a crash dump from one of our production machines. The root of my problem seems to be that I have a different build of the .NET framework than the production machine, only I don't know how to fix the problem. When I turn !sym noisy and then run !dlk(from SOSEX) I get the following error as it tries to find the mscordacwks dll</p> <pre><code>0:000&gt; !dlk CLRDLL: c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\mscordacwks.dll:2.0.50727.3623 f:0 doesn't match desired version 2.0.50727.3607 f:0 SYMSRV: c:\mysymbols\mscordacwks_x86_x86_2.0.50727.3607.dll\4ADD5446590000\mscordacwks_x86_x86_2.0.50727.3607.dll not found SYMSRV: http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols/mscordacwks_x86_x86_2.0.50727.3607.dll/4ADD5446590000/mscordacwks_x86_x86_2.0.50727.3607.dll not found SYMSRV: c:\mysymbols\mscordacwks_x86_x86_2.0.50727.3607.dll\4ADD5446590000\mscordacwks_x86_x86_2.0.50727.3607.dll not found SYMSRV: c:\mysymbols\mscordacwks_x86_x86_2.0.50727.3607.dll\4ADD5446590000\mscordacwks_x86_x86_2.0.50727.3607.dll not found SYMSRV: http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols/mscordacwks_x86_x86_2.0.50727.3607.dll/4ADD5446590000/mscordacwks_x86_x86_2.0.50727.3607.dll not found SYMSRV: c:\mysymbols\mscordacwks_x86_x86_2.0.50727.3607.dll\4ADD5446590000\mscordacwks_x86_x86_2.0.50727.3607.dll not found CLRDLL: Unable to find mscordacwks_x86_x86_2.0.50727.3607.dll by mscorwks search CLRDLL: Unable to find 'mscordacwks_x86_x86_2.0.50727.3607.dll' on the path SYMSRV: c:\mysymbols\mscorwks.dll\4ADD5446590000\mscorwks.dll not found SYMSRV: http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols/mscorwks.dll/4ADD5446590000/mscorwks.dll not found SYMSRV: c:\mysymbols\mscorwks.dll\4ADD5446590000\mscorwks.dll not found DBGHELP: C:\Program Files\Debugging Tools for Windows (x86)\mscorwks.dll - file not found SYMSRV: c:\mysymbols\mscorwks.dll\4ADD5446590000\mscorwks.dll not found SYMSRV: http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols/mscorwks.dll/4ADD5446590000/mscorwks.dll not found SYMSRV: c:\mysymbols\mscorwks.dll\4ADD5446590000\mscorwks.dll not found CLRDLL: Unable to find mscorwks.dll by search CLRDLL: ERROR: Unable to load DLL mscordacwks_x86_x86_2.0.50727.3607.dll, Win32 error 0n2 Unable to initialize .NET data interface.

See documentation for the .cordll command. </code></pre> <p>I took the mscorwks.dll, mscordawks.dll and sos.dll from the production machine and placed them in C:\mysymbols. It looks like WinDBG is looking for a dll INSIDE the mscorwks dll.</p>
