title: How to read a google chrome crash dump with windbg
body: <p>here is what I'm trying to solve. I have a crash dump from Google Chrome.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>I open windbg and say File -> Symbol File Path:
  "SRV*c:\code\symbols*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols;SRV*c:\code\symbols*https://chromium-browser-symsrv.commondatastorage.googleapis.com"
  I guess this looks for the debugging symbols from let to right and should finally grab them from google then. I copied that from <a href="http://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/debugging" rel="nofollow">http://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/debugging</a>.</p></li>
  <li><p>I drag and drop the crash dump into windbg</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>And then...</p>

  <p>You see that it says "The stored exception information can be accessed via .ecxr" but once I insert that it tells me that I have a syntax error.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?</p>
