No matching binary found error

Question

I am trying to debug a crash minidump. have the release debug symbols and release binaries same as crash.

While debugging that crash and pointing to symbols still I am getting "No matching binary found" error .

I am using the right symbols, binaries and pointing to right location.

So why this can happen? I can see a slight difference in timestamp of dll loaded in VS(9:03AM) and the release binary(9:04AM)

Can this be the reason for the error?

Any solutions for this , I need to fix the crash and since this crash occuring on client machine , I cannt repro it.

You may try to debug the dump using the windbg/ntsd (from the 'Debugging tools for Windows' package that comes with Windows SDK ). There you may try to load the symbols while ignoring a mismatch in the .pdb file versions '.reload /i' command.
