Debugging a .run file


One of our clients gave us a .run file for debugging. I've never seen one of these. I'm very familiar with .dmp files but have never used or debugged a .run file. Unfortunately, the internet is terrible at lexically parsing .run into a meaningful query.

I know the answer is very simple, I just can't find it right now.

Thanks in advance.


Solution

  • I figured it out. Apparently you have to use a Microsoft proprietary application called Time Travel Tracing which allows memory dumps to be examined both backwards and forwards. I really wish it wasn't proprietary.

    Oh well, IntelliTrace will eliminate most of this anyway :)
