I don't think it is due to the pdb my understanding is that it is because wixstdba is not loaded at startup so windbg hasn't read the pdb at that stage, once wixstdba is in memory then the pdb has been read and you can set break points - I see exactly the same thing if I build the pdb myself.

When WinDbg launches the exe it breaks and gives me a chance to set a breakpoint. I would not show the breakpoint that I tried to set with F9 after placing the cursor at LoadBootstrapperBAFunctions() (or prior to that call). However after I pressed F5 to start execution then the breakpoint took effect at the point at which I had previously pressed F9. The next time I launched the exe with WinDbg it would not show the existing breakpoint, but if I pressed F5 it would then show the existing breakpoint and break. So while that was different than my other experiences using WinDbg I did not realize that it was related to the pdb file. Having said that, I agree with your plan to close this bug, and if I learn more information I will provide it. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/WixStdBA-LoadBootstrapperBA-changes-m-fPrereq-tp7588034p7588176.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get 100% visibility into Java/.NET code with AppDynamics Lite!
