The Discussion
-
BrianCatlin Following the link to the store, I get "WinDbg Preview is currently not available"
-
aluhrs13 @BrianCatlin: The store takes around 24 hours to fully propagate, so it might take a bit. Also make sure you're on Windows 10 Anniversary update (14393) or newer.
-
siodmy only store? so no windows 7 and no server 2008 support?
-
ChadBeeder @siodmy: The classic WinDbg will not be going away anytime soon.
-
Crispin Windows store still saying it's unavailable in New Zealand os is 10.0.15063..
someone give the store propagation a kick :) THWACK! -
Ofek_Shilon @Crispin:Same in Israel
-
MagicAndre1981 in Germany the app is now up in store, but the version crashes for me at startup (BadImageFormatException) on 32bit Windows 10 v1607 on my Toshiba encore 8 tablet.
-
MagicAndre1981 @MagicAndre1981: cause is that the Microsoft.Performance.Shell.dll is compiled for x64 (when I open it in JustDecompile) which can't be used on 32Bit Windows 10.
-
Crispin I'm just waiting for (& betting on) someone to come back and say it's only available in the US only atm, or something like that, check the availability settings in the store, I don't believe this to be a propagation issue.
Or better still - you could bundle it with an SDK and let us downloa....oh wait...*thumps head against wall*...........................
cmon guys if you're going to inflict the ribbon on us at least make it quick and painless :( (<----it's a joke - really it is!)
