I'm having BSOD problems in Windows 7 SP1 and want to download the standalone debugging tools. But the relevant page on this site http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us.

I've been trying to install the 'Debugging Tools', in order to try to analyse the dump file a server-crash (Windows Server 2008 R2).

I used to do this in the past, but I cannot find how to install / locate the Debugging Tools for Windows 7.

I've read this KB article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315263.

I've then tried to download the 'Debugging Tools for Windows' from the following article (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/gg463009.aspx). I chose the 'Install Debugging Tools for Windows as a Standalone component', downloaded the file and installed.

It did install successfully, yet I still cannot locate the files. This seems like a silly question to me, but I cannot locate the debugging tools in any way! I've even tried to download the mentioned Debugging tools for Windows 7 (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8279), yet again could not locate them!

Any help would be much appreciated

I had the same problem. I searched my whole system and no trace of windbg was found. I didn't bother to find the reason. Instead, I paused the installer and found the windbg MSI file in the temp directory and directly installed it. It works well.

In case someone want the file, I put it here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5395920/windbg-x86-6.12.0002.633.msi . The version is 6.12.0002.633 (x86) and its MD5/SHA1 is 2bd67a7b00507ad93539e138a4a6a2bf / 117814c255f19dc67e769c668bc97e547c05a55b. It's also here, directly from Microsoft http://download.microsoft.com/download/A/6/A/A6AC035D-DA3F-4F0C-ADA4-37C8E5D34E3D/setup/WinSDKDebuggingTools/dbg_x86.msi, but I don't know how long it will last.

Kinda similar problem here:

The Win SDK installer for Win7 which contains Debugging Tools always fails. However in the install log one can find the above mentioned link http://download.microsoft.com/download/A/6/A/A6AC035D-DA3F-4F0C-ADA4-37C8E5D34E3D/setup/WinSDKDebuggingTools/dbg_x86.msi

This installer runs fine !

If someone needs other tools from the Win SDK: there are more msi installer links in the log !

I went through the Win SDK installer fail again yesterday on yet another system. I removed all references to the MVC++ 10 complier (again), but the installer still fails (even with the compiler checkbox unselected).

I need cdb.exe for a new Qt setup. There's an MSDN archive that can be found here - http://archive.msdn.microsoft.com/debugtoolswindows/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=4912

Although I used a different dbg_x86.msi, this one seems to be similar in byte count, etc. and it's from Microsoft's site.

If all else fails, you might wanna try the 'Standalone Debugging Tools for Windows 8.1' found here. See my answer for more details.
