Problems using VS200 remote debugger - not loading symbols. PE / COFF header issue

2024-01-29T12:31:40.91+00:00

I'm building a C++ app in VS2022. I'm remote debugging a (in-house) dll that is loaded by the app. However, the symbols for the dll do not get loaded, as the symbol file does not match the source code. The issue seems to be the time and date stamp in the PE header; this does not get updated when I rebuild the dll. How can I "force" the time and date stamp to get updated? Thanks

    Turn's out it was not VS2022 after all. Some obscure FTP issue.
