How to make VC6 to load NTDLL.PDB symbol file?

[unknown]

Hi, All!

Windows XP SP2;
windbg.exe v6.9.3.113 installed;
and symbol files installed to c:\windows\symbols using WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-slp-Symbols.exe

Question:
After press F6 in VC6 to start debugging, the output window shows:
Loaded 'ntdll.dll', no matching symbolic information found.
Loaded 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\kernel32.dll', no matching symbolic information found.

How to make VC6 to successfully load the symbol files for NTDLL.DLL, kernel32.dll, and etc?

Thanks
David

Additional info:
1)system level environment variable _NT_SYMBOL_PATH was set to C:\WINDOWS\Symbols\16bit;C:\WINDOWS\Symbols\acm;...
2)windbg can find and load file ntdll.pdb, etc.
3)new versions of DbgHelp.dll and dbgeng.dll were copied to c:\windows\system32

Loaded 'ntdll.dll', no matching symbolic information found.

VC6 does not know how to use the symbols-server...

Thanks, Jochen,

I don't know of the symbols-server. Do you means windbg.exe using symbols-server to load symbol files? But I didn't install any
server - i just installed the symbol files to c:\windows\symbols.


I think VC6 can use symbol files, because there is a shortcut "Windows NT Symbols Setup" for SETUPDBG.EXE in VS6 folder.

Thanks,
David
