Is there anyone left that uses SoftIce?

Has anyone experienced a problem with loading WDK .pdb symbol information
into SoftIce?

With DDK 3790.1830 I had no problems, but with WDK 6001.18001 SoftIce cannot
correctly dispay type information in the debugger (my .nms file does not
contain any type info!)

I will be moving to windbg and virtual machine debugging soon, but right now
I need my SoftIce to work. Help.

Yep.

This is exactly what means "unsupported". New updates break it, and
there's no help :(

Even with one machine, with windbg you can load a driver as a
dump file and examine it; find an offset and set there a bp
on your softice machine, and so on.

I think I have found the problem. DDK creates a .pdb for your .sys file, WDK
creates a .pdb for your .sys file and another one called vc80.pdb. I have a
feeling that 'type' info is in this one.

Now I have to find a way to load this into SoftIce as well, should be simple.

And noone wants to open its sources to public ... Strange, taking into
account that product is dying anyway ...
