I am using version 1.74.3 of the VSCode Portable Edition, stored on a pendrive, and I am encountering an issue with extensions not being saved across devices. When I install an extension in the portable version, it does not persist if I move the file to another computer. I expect the installed extensions to be saved in the portable version and accessible on any device where I run the portable version from the pendrive. Any assistance in resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Operating System: Windows 10
VSCode Portable Edition Version: 1.74.3
I have tried installing extensions in the VSCode Portable Edition, but they do not persist when I move the file to another computer. I expected the installed extensions to be saved within the portable version and accessible on any device where I run the portable version from the pendrive.
This sounds like this issue raised on GitHub: "Portable VS Code Extensions do not Transfer to Other Computers (#171569)"
which is reported to be fixed in the insiders build for v1.75
While you're waiting for 1.75 to be officially released to the general public, you can switch to the insiders version.
Update: VS Code 1.75 was released on 2023 Jan 2nd at 11:50 AM PST. See the releases on their GitHub. The release notes can be found here.
The newest AnyLogic version is not supported by my current AnyLogic license. The license only supports up to 8.3.3. However, I do wish to install AnyLogic on another computer and activate it with my license. However, surprisingly I could not find downloads of earlier AnyLogic versions. Does anyone know if and where I can find these earlier versions, and whether I perhaps can downgrade a newer AnyLogic version?

For any version, just put the version you want and you will likely be able to download it
if using mac:

In addition to Felipe's answer, you can always ask
support#anylogic.com
if you need very old versions. I believe that AL7.x is not available online anymore but they happily send the installers if you need them.
I was looking for a debugger for Windows, other than GDB, which is freely accessible. I found WinDbg and it looks quite good so I wanted to give it a try. Now when I go to the MSDN page it offers to download the SDK for Windows 8. As this is a rather big package, I wonder if I can use this WinDbg version still for Windows XP?
Since my company still uses Windows XP for some time to come, I'm stuck with it for now. Is there another, free debugger which is user friendly?
I'm used to Visual Studio for debugging, which is quite nice. Currently I use Eclipse with GCC and GDB. GDB is good enough, but when I do some assembly I don't really like it, and all in all I don't find it very user friendly.
The latest WinDbg will work with Windows 2000 onwards and most commands work with Windows XP. There will be some that will only work with later versions, but these are documented in the included help file.
Just to ease your download pain, firstly there is the option to select what to download from MSDN, or you can just download the version you want here thanks to a kind person who is hosting the individual components.
What's missing in dbgeng.dll in windows 7 Vs the dbgeng.dll distributed with debugging tools for windows ?
Very late to the party on this one but I've run into one very significant difference recently:
The dbgeng.dll built into windows installations will not support remote debugging where as the one installed with debugging tools does!
There appear to be other differences also that I didn't dig deeper into - all I knew was a working program using the built in dll started crashing when using the debugging tools one... which was a pain considering I would have liked to use the remote debugging facility out of the box.
This post shows the difference between Windows 7 and Windows 8 preview, I believe Windows 8 version is similar or possibly same as latest one that ships that is in debugging tools because when I do use dependencyWalker I notice that the one in Debugging Tools also has this new exported method DebugCreateEx which is also in the latest version
Windows 7 System 32 version:
Dependency walker:
Debugging tools version:

Hope this helps in some way to explain the differences, especially the post at the top.

Does anyone know how to get ahold of windbg without having to download the entire 620MB WDK ISO?
All I can find on the net to download the debugger is this link, which says you have to get the whole WDK: http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/default.mspx.
Actually, Microsoft has now made the Debugging Tools downloadable separately from the SDK. Look for the section "Standalone Debugging Tools for Windows (WinDbg)" about mid-page:
for Windows 8.1
for Windows 10
Officially, you can't. But someone's been extracting them for your convenience and hosting them.
Note: You can get the older releases on the official site, but the latest ones are part of the WDK.
If you run winsdk_web.exe from the following link, you can selectively install windbg or extract windbg installer msi.
Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 4
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=191420
The standalone MSI file of windbg can be downloaded from here. The version is 6.12.0002.633 (x86). http://download.microsoft.com/download/A/6/A/A6AC035D-DA3F-4F0C-ADA4-37C8E5D34E3D/setup/WinSDKDebuggingTools/dbg_x86.msi
If you're on Windows 7 x64, the solution provided by Sukesh doesn't work.
I managed to install the debugging tools by downloading the Windows SDK installer for Windows 8 (here), and then choosing "Debugging Tools for Windows" in the installer:
http://codemachine.com/downloads.html
Has all the individual msi files
Try the MSDN archive link at http://archive.msdn.microsoft.com/debugtoolswindows/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=4912. It has the WinDbg MSI for both 32- and 64-bit (Version 6.12.2.633).
I found both, x64 and x86 version 6.12.0002.633 here:
http://rxwen.blogspot.de/2010/04/standalone-windbg-v6120002633.html
The saga continues with the Windows 10 version. I had to install Win Debug Tools on clean Windows 10 OS with Visual Studio 2015.
To make a long story short, just follow the instructions in the link provided by David Black. After downloading the files, instead of running the SDK installer, browse to the installers directory and execute the msi files directly.
I wonder how many man hours have been lost through the last decade because of MS sloppiness in regards to WDK/SDK installation?
You can also get it from Chocolatey:
https://chocolatey.org/packages/windbg
For Windows 7 x86 you can also download the ISO:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=8442
And run \Setup\WinSDKDebuggingTools\dbg_x86.msi
WinDbg.exe will then be installed (default location) to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Debugging Tools for Windows (x86)
I was looking for the same thing for a quick operation and found this question. I needed both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
This is an older version but the links are from the Microsoft servers, it should be safe. The link for 32-bit version is also in a previous answer but the version number i get on the install is different, maybe the same link is updated with a newer version since 2013.

I tested the 64 bit debugger with a 64 bit program that was compiled some years ago (~2012) and it works. Test is done on Windows 10 Pro 64 bit (v2004 Build 19041.207).
WinDbg is now available separately via MS Store. It's called "Preview" but I tested it to analyse some memory dumps and it works fine.
If you're on Windows 10 - launch MS Store, type "WinDbg" in the search box and voi-la - you have it. The download is approx. 100mb. It will downlaod required symbols automatically.
This Microsoft link allows you to select the SDK. When you run the install and only select Windows debugging tools it will only download 288mb and install the tool as stand alone.
