+Summary: CS8018 when compiling with debug
+
+Description of Problem:
+When I attempt to compile using mcs with the -g or -debug+ switch, I get 
+an internal warning: 
+
+Internal() warning CS8018: Could not find the symbol writer assembly 
+(Mono.CSharp.Debugger.dll). This is normally an ins
+tallation problem. Please make sure to compile and install the 
+mcs/class/Mono.CSharp.Debugger directory.
+
+I have uninstalled and reinstalled Mono Beta 3 3 or 4 times and on 2 
+different development boxes (one with Beta 2 formerly installed and 
+removed and one which has never seen Mono installed before).
+
+Both experience this problem.
+
+I have done a find in files and Mono.CSharp.* does not exist anywhere on 
+my system. I don't believe it's being installed, let alone GAC'd during 
+the Win32 install.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Create a test CS file
+2. compile with the -g or -debug switches
+
+Actual Results:
+Warning and no PDB created, but, in most cases, the correct assembly is 
+produced/compiled.
+
+Expected Results:
+No warnings and both a correct PDB and assembly created.
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Every time.
+
+Additional Information:
+I have tried this on simple console exe test CS files and complicated 
+projects and I get the same output no matter what.
+
+I think that the Mono.CSharp.* assemblies are not getting copied/installed 
+during the Win32 install.
