mscorwks.pdb symbols for VS2005 RC?

I'm running the RC given out at the PDC, and I'm trying to debug stuff that has both managed and unmanaged code. This is particularly difficult because I don't have symbols for mscorwks.dll and other libs, which I thought were available for previous versions, like Beta 2.

Is there somewhere I can grab the symbols for the libs so my stack traces make a bit more sense

Thanks.

    Ordinarily the symbols for mscorwks and other .NET Framework binaries can be found in the "symbols" directory under your .NET Framework SDK. However, I believe the RC had corrupted files in that directory.

    What you can do is use the MS public symbol server, which contains symbols not only for the RC build of .NET 2.0 but also for a whole lot of other Microsoft products. (Instructions to do that are in this article: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx scid=kb;en-us;319037).

    HTH,
