How to remove build path from PDB-file

Question

Is there a way to replace the build path that is being generated into pdb-Files?

So that e.g. an error in the form of "exception in f:\xy\build-dir\foo.vb at line 123" is then given as "exception in something else\foo.vb at line 123"

Same question, but it was >7 years ago now, so there might be different answers. – Eolanda

Any why the downvote? – Seniority

No idea - wasn't from me! It's something I'm interested in finding out if there's an answer to - wouldn't mind implementing it here – Eolanda

@JamesThorpe Sorry, James, my comment wasn't aimed at you, but rather at the not-so-talkative-downvoter... I appreciate your comments and also the link to the other question. – Seniority

No worries - I didn't think it was, but since I got notified of your comment I thought I'd respond :) I think unless this is edited or has a bounty placed on it, it's unlikely to get many more eyes on it unfortunately – Eolanda

I'm still looking for such a tool, too. Still didn't find one. I guess we need to write our own. – Distributive

@ThomasWeller Hi Thomas, let me know if you found a solution, ok? Danke ;) – Seniority

I believe you need to set up a source indexing process as mentioned in [1], [2] or [3]. I'm in the process of doing this but I'm struggling myself, mainly trying to understand how to add the correct formatted lines to the script.
