I don't think it is due to the pdb my understanding is that it is because wixstdba is not loaded at startup so windbg hasn't read the pdb at that stage, once wixstdba is in memory then the pdb has been read and you can set break points - I see exactly the same thing if I build the pdb myself.

I think it might be an optimisation issue but not 100% sure, the pdb didn't match the code for some reason though. Not sure if you found the same but you cannot set a break point directly in the wixstdba as it is not in memory when you first start the bundle. You need to wait until it is in

No this also applies to 3.7 but there is a bug that means it detects the system language not the user language which probably explains what you are seeing. If you make the system language match the user selected language it works as I described. -Original Message- From: Phill Hogland
