include symbols with MSI

Closed this issue · 2 comments

Since XDP uses WPP for some tracing, we should include symbols with the runtime so logs can be decoded locally. This will increase the package size and disk footprint, but seems better than requiring a separate download.

What about including the TMFs only? I assume those are smaller than the symbols?

We could do that, but symbols provide a strict superset of functionality. The symbols are only few megabytes, and eBPF-for-Windows is also providing symbols, so I think symbols are the way to go.
