 ## Specify component symbol files
  Profiling Tools searches for the.*pdb* files of the components that you want to profile in their original locations that are stored in the components or in the folder that contains the profiling data file. You can specify other locations to search by adding one or more paths to **_NT_SYMBOL_PATH** or to the **/SymbolPath** option. Separate paths with semi-colons.
 
 ## Example
  The following command line sets the **_NT_SYMBOL_PATH** environment variable to the Windows symbol server and the local directory to **C:\Symbols**.
 
- **set  _NT_SYMBOL_PATH=srv\*C:\symbols\*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols**

 A Web site can contain multiple virtual directories and subdirectories, and Web.config files may exist in each one.

Hierarchical configuration files allow you to change settings for several [!INCLUDE[vstecasp](../includes/vstecasp-md.md)] applications at the same time, such as for all applications below it in the hierarchy. However, if `debug` is set in a file lower in the hierarchy, it will override the higher value.  
 
-For example, you could specify `debug="true"` in www.microsoft.com/aaa/Web.config, and any application in the aaa folder or in any subfolder of aaa will inherit that setting. So if your [!INCLUDE[vstecasp](../includes/vstecasp-md.md)] application is at www.microsoft.com/aaa/bbb, it will inherit that setting, as will any [!INCLUDE[vstecasp](../includes/vstecasp-md.md)] applications in www.microsoft.com/aaa/ccc, www.microsoft.com/aaa/ddd, and so on.

 ## I got this message while I was debugging locally  
  If you are getting this message while you are debugging locally, your anti-virus software or a third-party firewall may be to blame. Visual Studio is a 32-bit application, so it uses the 64-bit version of the remote debugger to debug 64-bit applications. The two processes communicate using the local network within the local computer. No network traffic leaves the computer, but it is possible that third party security software may block the communication.
