More Information

This diagnostic can be used on a Windows 7-based computer. When you run the Fiddler tracing diagnostic, you are prompted that tracing will begin after you click Next.



After you click Next, you may receive the following security warning, asking whether you want to install a root certificate. This certificate allows Fiddler to capture HTTPS traffic.



Click Yes to install the certificate.

Then, you may be prompted to allow Fiddler access to your system. (Currently, Windows Firewall may be blocking Fiddler access.)



Click Allow access to allow Fiddler to communicate on the selected network.

At this point, tracing is running. You should now reproduce your problem. After you have reproduced the problem, click End Capture Now to collect and upload the Fiddler trace.
