Binplace - how to use?

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

I've read http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms791451.aspx , but
what it suggests just doesn't seem to work as expected.

Short summary of things: I've installed WDK 6000.16384. I've got
the following directory setup:

d:\full\ (empty)
d:\mini\ (empty)
d:\InfinitySnapshot\ , contains Infinity_O.exe and Infinity_O.pdb

In the directory I run binplace from, I've got a file
'placefil.txt', which has the following contents:

---
Infinity_O.exe retail
---

If I run binplace as follows, I get the following results:

binplace -v -a -x -r d:\full -s d:\mini -p ./placefil.txt d:\InfinitySnapshot\Infinity_O.exe

BINPLACE : warning GNA0293: Not a response file (-a)
BINPLACE : warning GNA0293: Not a response file (-x)
BINPLACE : warning GNA0293: Not a response file (-r)
BINPLACE : warning GNA0293: Not a response file (d:\full)
BINPLACE : warning GNA0293: Not a response file (-s)
BINPLACE : warning GNA0293: Not a response file (d:\mini)
BINPLACE : warning GNA0293: Not a response file (d:\mini)
BINPLACE : warning GNA0293: Not a response file (-p)
BINPLACE : warning GNA0293: Not a response file (./placefil.txt)
BINPLACE : warning GNA0293: Not a response file (./placefil.txt)
BINPLACE : warning GNA0293: Not a response file (d:\InfinitySnapshot\Infinity_O.exe)
BINPLACE : warning BNP0000: Looking at file Infinity_O.exe
BINPLACE : warning BNP0000: place d:\InfinitySnapshot\Infinity_O.exe in d:\full\.\Infinity_O.exe
BINPLACE : warning GNA0127: Command line finished

After this is done, d:\full\Infinity_O.exe exists, and is the same
size in KB as the copy d:\InfinitySnapshot . There is no pdb file
here. Under d:\mini, there's 2 directories created, d:\mini\retail\exe
However, no files are placed under d:\mini

What I want is a stripped .pdb, containing only the public symbols
(line #s). Infinity_O.exe and .pdb were created with VS.NET 2003, and
I know that the .pdb is valid. Any tips for how to achieve this? Thanks.
