64 or 32 bit version of WinDBG?

Question

I have a 64 bit host OS and a 32 bit guest OS running inside VMWare. I want to use WinDBG to debug 32 bit guest OS from my 64 bit host OS. Which version of WinDBG should I install? 32 or 64 bit?

Answer 1

The 64-bit WinDBG can debug 32 bit targets.

Essentially, you should install the package that's appropriate for the host - that package can attach to whatever target type.
