Hi, I uploaded a product map file recently, and one of the exe was having version 7.31.0.0 But, when I go to the Product Rollup page, I can see an event for that exe having version 7.20.0.0 . As I understand, mapping process considers the version of that file also. Can anybody explain why ...
While reviewing msinfo32 logs from some of our customers, I see evidence of WER postings with a bucket type of <strong>RADAR_PRE_LEAK_32</strong>. I can't find info about this type in any of our documentation. Could someone point me to a definition? Thanks, Norbert

Hello, Under what conditions is the .mdmp file created or not? I have written an app that (deliberately) dereferences a NULL pointer, but the generated error report does not have the "Files that help describe the problem" section when listing the report from the Control Panel ...
Hi All, My question is, if we can recover the users dumps on the winqual server programmatically, to inject them automatically in a bug tracking system for example. Best Regards.

Hi all,on my Vista system, I generated a lot of crash reports using WER-aware code (i.e. code which explicitly uses WerReportCreate() and WerReportSubmit()). When I look at those crash reports in the Problem History window, I find that many of those crash reports have a bucket ID of 8. This ...

Hi,a number of the crash reports we're seeing is marked with the "Cabs requested" icon (cab icon with a little clock in it). The documentation says that this icon means that ".cab data has been requested and is not yet ready for download".I'm not quite sure how I should ...
I just tried to configure my XP SP2 workstation to send crash reports to a CER file share such that no dialog box would be presented. It didn't work as expected. ReportFault returned frrvErrNoDW and no crash report showed up in the file share. I have the 'Configure Error Reporting' policy ...
Hi all,I'm experimenting with the available APIs for error reporting. On XP systems, I'm using ReportFault(), which seems to work as expected- it displays the WER dialogs, sends data to the Winqual site (including minidump data), launches a debugger when asked for by the user etc. Is this the ...
Hi all,we recently registered for the Winqual site. Reports are coming in about crashes in our application which occur on Windows XP systems, so it seems like the whole registration process worked as expected.However, we also ran our application (same version as on XP) on Vista, and provoked ...

I have configured the error reporting so that the reports are stored on a shared volume iso being sent to Microsoft. When the crash occurs I can see that there is not only a mdmp file but also a hdmp file on the temp directory. Howerver the cabinet file on the local share does not contain the ...

Lately I have seen a few emails to WERPASUP@microsoft.com from ISVs using WER for Software asking why they are seeing crashes in processes that are not their own. I thought that this question would make an excellent post. The answer is simple, but first a bit of background... File mapping ...

Can I get information on why the total hits on an event would say 2 and when clicking the CABS link to download, it shows more than two CABs to download? What is the difference between the total hits for the event and amount of CAB ID's avaialble to download? What does each CAB ID ...
Hi,I've managed to get WER up and running and downloaded some cab files for my test application. I was hoping the functionality you would get from these mdmp files would be similar to a normal minidump. Although I can get the stacktrace using !clrstack, what I really want is !clrstack -p which ...
