I don't think it is due to the pdb my understanding is that it is because wixstdba is not loaded at startup so windbg hasn't read the pdb at that stage, once wixstdba is in memory then the pdb has been read and you can set break points - I see exactly the same thing if I build the pdb myself. N

I think it might be an optimisation issue but not 100% sure, the pdb didn't match the code for some reason though. Not sure if you found the same but you cannot set a break point directly in the wixstdba as it is not in memory when you first start the bundle. You need to wait until it is in me
