I'm trying to load pykd.pyd in order to be able to use Python during Windbg crash dump analysis. This does not work, as you can see here:
0:006> .load C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\pykd.pyd
The call to LoadLibrary(C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\pykd.pyd) failed,
Win32 error 0n126
"The specified module could not be found."
Please check your debugger configuration and/or network access.
For your information, I have started, opening Windbg (version x86) and opening a crash dump file, and I can confirm that the mentioned pykd.pyd file is present.
If I put the filename between double quotes, I get another error message, as you can see here:
0:006> .load "C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\pykd.pyd"
The call to LoadLibrary(C:Python27Libsite-packagespykd.pyd) failed,
Win32 error 0n2
"The system cannot find the file specified."
Please check your debugger configuration and/or network access.
(It might be important to mention that both Win32 errors are different!)
Does anybody know what might cause this issue?
Thanks in advance
Don't load python package directly ( C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\pykd.pyd ). It is a legacy unsupported way.
You need the special python bootstrapper for windbg: https://githomelab.ru/pykd/pykd-ext
