Debug symbols for Windows is missing since version 0.59.0

[YLivay]

Hello,

I'm trying to download the debug symbols for Windows on version 0.62.2 but noticed the symbol files are empty. After a quick scan of https://dl.nwjs.io, seems like the last version that had symbols for Windows is 0.58.0.

Nothing changed in BUILD.gn that would have affected this, so I'm guessing tools/dump_syms.exe just stopped working on the newer versions for some reason?

There are some commits in chromium around that time frame that seem related, but im way out of my depth here ;) https://chromium.googlesource.com/breakpad/breakpad/+log/refs/heads/main/src/tools/windows

Hopefully this is an easy fix!

Bump!

Is there anything I can help with?

How do I get the symbols? Is there a simple method others are using? I have a crash I'm looking at in 0.87.0 in Windows on 64-bit and I was trying to follow:

https://docs.nwjs.io/en/latest/For%20Developers/Understanding%20Crash%20Dump/#find-minidump-file

It's still referencing the downloads that are 0 bytes.

@rogerwang Is there a workaround for this to get the symbols or another method to get them?
