Can someone clarify that. Umm, sorry. That's what I get for writing a message and then coming back to change some part of it (with some time in between). I meant that once you have the snapshot DLL in place, you don't need to stop any running processes to use the .dbg file (as you would if you had to substitute the debugging version of the DLL).

You have to stop all the running processes to replace the DLL (this probably stems from the confusion I mentioned above).
