Windbg in IDA 6.5
 

I have tried to set up, in IDA 6.5, windbg .
I went on the file ida.cfg and I changed the voice // DBGTOOLS = "put here the full path of your windbg install folder " ; //
in C: \\ Program Files ( x86) \\ Windows Kits \\ 8.1 \\ Debuggers .
I've Windbg in this directory.
When I do I enable debugger like windbg IDA gives me an error.
In IDA 6.2 this did not happen.
Can anyone help me correctly configure Windbg ?

Thanks

i had some trouble also in windows 8.1, think its a general problem in windows 8.1.
I added the folder to path.and it all worked out.
Also you can use both versions, so x86 windbg for x86 and x64 for x64 .I i remember correct you had to use only the x86 version in pre ida version.

I use Win 7 64 bit and perhaps I solved the problem by writing in ida.cfg
DBGTOOLS = "C: \\Program Files ( x86)\Windows Kits\\8.1 \\ Debuggers\\x86\\ ";
This setting also works with 64-bit programs, but also using dbgsrv.exe.

Don't forget to edit this line: MODE = 1 int IDA\cfg\dbg_windbg.cfg

Where can I find this line does not exist in ida.cfg

hi,

this is in dbg_windbg.cfg file! not ida.cfg.
you can find dbg_windbg.cfg in "cfg" folder in IDA installation path.

Still I don't success to debug in win7 64 using WinDBG
I try all idea which all are mention in this forum
final I get Plugin error
???????????????????

@gsaralji
it would be better if you describe your steps done
and
full error message

I changed line mode as per forum informed---- below cfg file
DBGTOOLS = "C: \\Program Files\Windows Kits\\8.1 \\ Debuggers\\x64\\ ";
mode:1
(dbg_windbg.cfg -- ida.cfg)

its says
