New WinDBG is finally here

After almost a year without updates, the latest version of WinDBG (6.12.2.633) is available and ready for consumption.

Unfortunately, in order to get it you’re going to need to sit through a 600MB download since WinDBG is now only distributed along with the Windows Driver Kit. There’s also rumblings that it is available with the SDK, though I have not confirmed that yet.

Update

The WinDBG installer is available from the SDK as well as the WDK, however the SDK ships with an older version and not the latest. So, as of now the WDK is going to be the only way to get the latest WinDBG.

    Um… If I need a debugger on customer’s computer, I should install WDK on it or use old version of Windbg…

    Once you download the WDK ISO you can extract the debugger MSIs from the \Debuggers directory, no install of the WDK necessary.
