PRB: WinDBG for WinCe 2.0 Does Not Support Named Pipes

• Microsoft Visual C++ for Windows CE, version 2.0

SYMPTOMS

This article applies to the WinDBG debugger for Windows CE, version 2.0. When you use named pipes for a transport layer, the following error occurs:

Transport DLL "TLPIPE.DLL" cannot connect to remote computer.

CAUSE

WinDBG for Windows CE, version 2.0 does not support using named pipes for a transport layer. WinDBG allows the user to change the transport layer to TLPIPE even though it is not supported.

RESOLUTION

Currently, the only way to perform remote debugging with WinDBG is to use a Serial cable through the COM port.

STATUS

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
