And if you run it a second time? I seem to recall that your problem only seems to appear the second time.

The resulting log file is attached. I hope there is some sort of "aha moment" contained therein.


Not yet. It all looks fairly normal.

It seems odd to me that the "mkdir C:\WebSymbols" line appears after the preceding line that actually references the directory, which ended up with no files in it in any case.


The first line only sets an environment variable. The directory is not actually used until NTSD needs to get hold of some symbols.

It's empty because nothing went bang and it didn't need to download any symbols.
