I am trying to profile my Windows Azure application using the Visual Studio Profiler in Windows Azure. I followed the instructions at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/hh369930.aspx#BK_ProfilingCloudService, but I run into this problem where when I download the profiling report from an instance it can't find the symbol information and I get nothing but hex values for the function names. The profiler outputs the following errors:

And so on. Looking at the paths, this is clearly the path that is being looked for on the actual Azure instance (I've been in via RDP enough times to recognize what D:\windows and F:\approot means). But I'm viewing this performance report on my own machine. So how can I tell the profiler to look for symbols using MY machine's settings, and not the Azure instance's settings?

For the record, I AM following the instructions in the linked pages, and I have googled this extensively and found nothing. Not to say there's nothing out there, but I'm following the instructions in the profiling blogs and such and still getting the errors. I asked this question on the MSDN forums and a Microsoft rep basically told me that if I followed the instructions it would definitely work.


Question: Excel VBA App stops spontaneously with message "Code execution has been halted"
Answer: One solution is here:


  The solution for this problem is to add the line of code
  “Application.EnableCancelKey = xlDisabled”  in the first line of your
  macro.. This will fix the problem and you will be able to execute the macro
  successfully without getting the error message “Code execution has been interrupted”.


But, after I inserted this line of code, I was not able to use Ctrl+Break any more. So it works but not greatly.
