Program Installation and Compilation

1. Install Microsoft Debugging Tools for Windows as indicated in Debugging Tools.
2. Add the path to the Debugging Tools for Windows directory to your system path via ControlPanel, then System, then Advanced, then Environment Variables. This will allow you to run Debugging Tools programs from a command line.
3. Compile your program and any DLLs it uses with the following compiler options:

   /Od /Oi

   These options turn off compiler optimization and store debug symbols in .pdb files in the same directory as the .exe file, usually the Debug directory.
