100000x this. While trying to track down a memory leak I discovered that while pretty much any guide out there on the internet points to using WinDg and referencing a Microsoft site for the symbol files, the .pdb doesn't actually exist.

As far as I can tell the symbol files got removed with one of the 4.5.x releases, and as early as June people were asking about them: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/expression/en-US/7b...

Still no word... I'm no debugging expert, but it seems like you're SOL if you want to find a leak within managed code.
