When I try to load a Portable Executable in IDA Pro 6.6 it can't resolve the Symbols. I have hooked it to a win32_remote.exe. It keeps saying E_PDB_NOT_FOUND.

I even have WinDBG installed.

A common issue is missing symsrv.dll. Please make sure you have it on the remote machine and that win32_remote.exe can find it.

You can also append -z10000 to the command line in order to get more output from the MS-DIA libraries.

Thanks to HexRays for this answer.

    awesome, but what is the exact meaning of that switch (-z)? Is that some debug level of a kind?

    @IgorSkochinsky: it would still be better to include it here. But it was a mere suggestion. No offense intended.
