After changing our build process to use the StackExchange precompiler, everything builds successfully and our build time has drastically improved thanks to this great compiler.
However we're seeing this runtime error on some of our environments as soon as we started using the stackexchange precompiler. Oddly enough, on the same environments we deploy the same application twice but with different configs, one works fine and the other is just broken because of this this runtime error : Windows PDB writer is not available -- could not find Microsoft.DiaSymReader.Native.x86.dll.
We generate and keep PDB files for our test and staging environments.
One theory is that one of the applications is deployed in IIS as a Website, and the other as a Web Application, but both exactly under the same privileges, Application Pool, settings, etc... But we couldn't prove this exactly either.
We're not very sure the cause behind this, in some cases re-installing visual c++ 2015 redistributable on the server fixed the issue, but in other cases it didn't.
