[SOLVED] How to install CMKD.DLL?

181951 · Jan 4, 2024

I looked at the previous topics, I also looked at the link below but unfortunately I couldn't reach the debuggers section. Where should I put this file?

* Loading Custom Debugger Extensions - !load and !dpx

You should put it where windbg.exe is.
I have it in the default folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Debuggers\x64
Then open a dump and: !load cmkd

Since I downloaded it from the Microsoft store, it is not in the file directory you wrote. It's probably in the WindowsAPP folder and I can't access it.

I.e., are you using the windbg preview app?

Yes, do I need to use a different app?

UPDATE:

It seems that installing the Windows Driver Kit (WDK) brought up the specified file directory. I solved that problem briefly.

This time I get the error !load ckmd command could not find the specified file :)

LAST UPDATE : I solved the problem. I installed it in the x86 folder instead of x64 and the commands worked. It was nice to learn and practice at the same time.

I would advise against using the Preview version since there has been some issues with it.

WinDbg can technically load extensions from any directory, as long as, that directory path has been added to the extension search path. You can use the .extpath command to check that.

With the WDK download, I also downloaded the non-preview version. However, the dump files I downloaded for review are opened directly from the preview. How can I change this?

You'll need to change the file association for the .dmp files to be the SDK version. Alternatively, you could just open WinDbg and then use CTRL + D to open a dump file from there.

When I change the association of files with .dmp extension it gives an error like not installed in win32. The other method works. Thanks!

Please try the following, I had exactly the same issue on one of my systems where I also installed the preview version on.

Rich (BB code):

Could not create process '"C:\Users\Ted\Desktop\061921-50562-01.dmp"', Win32 error 0n193

%1 is not a valid Win32 application.

Open an elevated command prompt and run the following commands.

Code:

cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Debuggers\x64"
WinDbg.exe -IA

When the command completes you will see the following message: "WinDbg successfully registered file associations for .DMP, .HDMP, .MDMP, .KDMP and .WEW."

It worked! thank you so much.
