Does Visual Studio have debug symbols available?

I'd like to track down a possible bug in Visual Studio, but that's awfully hard without the debug symbols for Visual Studio itself. Does Microsoft make these available?

An up-to-date Visual Studio should already have the option to load symbols from Microsoft (Check: Tools->Options->Debug->Symbols). When it comes to debugging Visual Studio itself, have a look at this blog post.

Based on my experience, most of the Visual Studio Dlls had symbols in the symbol server. msenv.dll is one of the most important.

No, the closest thing are the debug symbols for the libraries which can be downloaded following the the steps here. But like I said, these are not for visual studio itself.
