Including WinDbg in the vsjitdebugger list


Is it possible to include WinDbg in the list of debuggers shown by vsjitdebugger when the latter is configured as the default debuuger in HKLM...\AeDebug?

Ideally I would like to be able to include a few more command-lines to the list of choices in vsjitdebugger that are available when a process encounters an unhandled exception: using DrWatson or using WinDbg to save a minidump for later inspection.


Solution

  • There used to be such an (undocumented) option, up until VS7. The interface was a tool called vs7jit.

    It was also discussed here, and the other directions brought up there may still be valid - specifically, the John Robbins 'Debugger chooser' code.
