DTrace on Windows

Hello Gopikrishna Kannan

I now have DTrace installed & tried some simple commands with success :-)

(I'm getting a lot of DEBUG output to the console, from libdtrace, when I run a dtrace command.)

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Get-WindowsCapability -Online -Name Tools.DTrace.Platform~~~~0.0.1.0

Name : Tools.DTrace.Platform~~~~0.0.1.0
State : Installed
DisplayName : DTrace/NT
Description : DTrace/NT enables the system support for DTrace.
DownloadSize : 51314
InstallSize : 135889

 

I'm not sure what I did that fixed it. I ran these commands:

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> dism /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth
Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 10.0.18351.1

Image Version: 10.0.18351.7

[==========================100.0%==========================] No component store corruption detected.
The operation completed successfully.

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> sfc /scannow
Beginning system scan. This process will take some time.

Beginning verification phase of system scan.
Verification 100% complete.

Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and successfully repaired them.

 

I checked C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log and the repairs did not seem to be too important.

My CBS.log is rather large. If you email me your email, I will send it to you.

Then I also checked Windows Update again, and it found a further update:

Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version Next (10.0.18351.7) (KB4492310)

..so maybe that fixed it.

After the Cumulative Update and a reboot, the DTrace install worked fine, and completed sucessfully :-)

I did not need to try your advice on "Configure a Windows Repair Source" as it had already fixed itself.

By the way, it's so great that Microsoft have brought Dtrace to Windows :-)

I remember the joy of using DTrace on OpenSolaris, over 10 years ago!

Thanks you

Nigel
