cdb.exe no longer in the Windows Kits folder!?
-
After a system update I installed Visual Studio 2022 Build Tools and QtCreator. Debugging felt odd, so I checked and found, that lldb was used. I searched the usual places, but cdb.exe is not, where it used to be. (Windows Kits/version/x64/ ... or similar).
Did I miss something? how else can I get the debugger of choice on windows?Best regards!

Hi,
Did you already checked this Wiki page about Windows debugging with Qt Creator ?
Interested in AI ? www.idiap.ch
Please read the Qt Code of Conduct - https://forum.qt.io/topic/113070/qt-code-of-conduct -
To make the answer short: VS uses its internal debugger. For Qt Creator you need to install the debugging tools separately (VS doesn't need them and thus doesn't offer them).

Even so much of the content of the wiki seems very old (It talks about Windows SDK 7.1 and 8 and Visual Stuido 2012 ... ) it somewhat helped me to solve the issue:
Installing the Visual Studio Build tools - even so it says, that it comes with a Windows SDK - did not install the debug executalbe. And installing Visual Studio did not do it.BUT: Installing the Windows SDK from here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/windows-sdk/downloads
did do the trick. It was an akward installation experiance, but it worked... It actually updated the files in the windows kits/10/... folder I already had and added the executable.
So: Solved ! Thx to anyone who tried to help! -

Googling for 'cdb download' gives me this as first link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/debugger/debugger-download-tools
