dump reader can't find symbol files


I'm trying to learn about reading dump files, so I made my small APP crush, and created a dump for that process from task manager.

I tried to open the .dmp file, both from VS10 and windbg.exe, and got an error that the symbol files are missing. I specified the path of the symbol files as the directory where the .pdb files are located : ..\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\CachedQueryTester\CachedQueryTester\bin\Debug

but I still get the same error, both on VS10 and windbg.exe, Any Idea?
