VS2013 MFC Symbols missing


My Visual Studio 2013 is unable to load MFC symbols. After setting some options in Visual Studio, I am able to load symbols for most of the Windows DLLs, but MFC symbols (more exact: mfc120ud.i386.pdb and mfc120d.i386.pdb) are still missing.

What I have tried so far:

Any ideas?


Solution

  • The default setting of Microsoft Symbol Servers only uses HTTP protocol, but loading MFC symbols seems to require HTTPS.

    When https://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols is added to the symbol file locations, the missing MFC symbols were loaded successfully.
