Installation of Debugging Tools for Windows
Tue, 08 Apr 2008 09:27:14 -040
I installed the latest Debugging Tools for Windows on XP SP2 but it did 
not replace the appropriate dbgeng.dll and dbghelp.dll in my system 
folder. The latest version of these DLLs are later than the versions in 
the XP system folder. Nor can I manually replace the ones in the system 
folder with the latest in the installation folder. Is this the way 
things are supposed to work ? Am I supposed to put the Debugging Tools 
for Windows istallation folder in the PATH before the windows system

The debugger package is not supposed to replace the system dlls.
You are supposed to express explicit path in your deployment environemnt
