Agree to the Microsoft Symbol Server dialog
debug-symbols, debugging, windbg
Solution
In order to get rid of the dialog, you should create an empty file or directory named `symsrv.yes` in the folder that contains the `symsrv.dll`, the component responsible for displaying the dialog and providing the connectivity to the service.
Note: there can be several instances of the DLL all over your hard drive, depending on whether the debugger you are using comes with its own copy.
Also note: it is also possible to decline the terms by placing a file named `symsrv.no` instead. If both files exist, `symsrv.yes` will take precedence.
Problem
Various debuggers with support for the Microsoft Symbol Server display a dialog with terms of use for the service upon first invocation. How to get rid of it? And yes, I maintain that debugging is an inherent part of programming and software development which is why this question is not off topic. Using the symsrv.dll in Windows is an inherent part of debugging and therefore it clearly relates to programming or software development
