How to collect Application Crash Dumps


I need to collect the crash dumps for some specific applications. I have gone through this article but can't say it helped me much.

Platform:: WinXP, Vista & Win7.

Seems that WinXP and above versions collect the dumps differently. For Example, say if I want to collect all dump files for IE, what would be the steps I should follow?


Solution

  • You can the sysinternals (now Microsoft) tool called procdump.

    The tool is easy to use and straightforward for taking dump of a running process. You can take just in time dump too using procdump.
