Configuring Application Verifier to generate a full-memory .DMP file?

Under AppVerifier, one of our apps blows up. I get a DMP file, but it's a minidump. Specifically, while I've got the call stack, I'd also like the user-space memory for the faulting process (it uses a lot of globals). How do I configure App Verifier (or Windows) to give me a full dump file?

Solution

  • I think you have to configure Windows itself (or more precise, the windows error reporting component) to generate full dumps.
