x64 - Dr.Watson - Debugger

[xkp]

H1 there my name is Martin.

So here is my problem, i manage to build stable(winxpx64_nlited) i maybe must be go wrong becouse i keep to get the message Dbgeng.dll is missing or corrupted.

I try to fix it at first, i download original x64 MS image and manage to extract both (dbgeng.dll i386 and x64). Then i try to install them properly on windows like i386 goes in system32 and x64 in SysWow64, second task was to reg them but i was getting some funny messages (errors) that i cannot do it.

Once upon a time i was having Dbgeng.dll (686kb) that was running perfect on the same exact copy but i deleted it by mistake. Now some programs making me nervous and mad.

I have also patched my XPx64 with patch direcly from microsoft to have both folder ProgramFiles(x86) and (x64). Becouse by default x64 have only one folder.

... i386 goes in system32 and x64 in SysWow64, ...

Isn't it the other way around?

Cheers and Regards

Well i don't know it's a mess. Here are some +information.

Microsoft Windows XP Pro x64 Version 2003 SP2 (5.2.3790)

C:\Windows\SysWOW64 - DBgeng.dll ( v5.2.3790.3959 ) - 1.56mb

C:\Windows\system32 - DBgeng.dll ( v5.1.2600.0 ) - 828kb - this one is custom, i try to add it manualy to fix the **** dbgeng..dll error

Edit:

Something strange just happend i copy the dbgeng from SysWOW64 folder and replace in system32 ( then i type in cmd - drwtsn32 -i and tell me that Dr. Watson has been insalled as default appliation debugger - Without error )

But as i use some other applications i still keep the message the dbgeng.dll is missing.

AFAIK, the way it works is that for a x86 OS the x86 file goes in System32, but for a x64 OS, the x64 file goes in System32 and the x86 file goes in SysWOW64.

I try to fix the problem with opening the original Windows iso and search for dbgeng.dll(x86)

As i search i found two:

• DBGENG.DLL ( F:\AMD64 ) i gues this is the x64 - ( v5.2.3790.3959 ) - 1.56mb

• WDBGENG.DL_ ( F:\I386 ) i gues this is the x86 - ( v5.2.3790.3959 ) - 1.01mb (expanded from the iso)

I change the wdbgeng to dbgeng and place it in SYSWOW64 - and the DBGENG goes in SYSTEM32.

I regsvr32 /s dbgeng.dll, and use cmd -> drwtsn32 -- no problems and here are some proof:

The error stops, but when i open the application still closes, this time without error....

Application exception occurred:        App: D:\Servers\csdm\hlds.exe (pid=5756)        When: 29.4.2014 г. @ 08:09:02.531        Exception number: c0000005 (access violation) *----> System Information <----*        Computer Name: IMB4        User Name: Xakep        Terminal Session Id: 0        Number of Processors: 2        Processor Type: EM64T Family 6 Model 23 Stepping 10        Windows Version: 5.2        Current Build: 3790        Service Pack: 2        Current Type: Multiprocessor Free        Registered Organization: WXP        Registered Owner: Xakep

I change the wdbgeng to dbgeng

Try not changing the name (which must be the correct thing to do).

If i don't change it at SYSWOW64 from WDbgeng to DBgeng then the error still exist.

Changing it prevent the error to show but still the problem with my application exists.
