    for instance a browser crashes in windows. usually windows own bug reporting tool prompts a dialog asking if the user wants to report it or not.

    So that behavior i want to emulate.

    Probably with just determining the unload method reason in your app so when it crashes it passes the reason to the event and you can do the similar task.

    I believe the built in reporting system is XP and above. But it shouldnt mater if you are rolling your own as long as its Windows.

    Re: Application Crash Detector in Windows

    They said they are going to use VC++

    Assumption based on this article...

    http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms809754.aspx

    They are going to override the default handler of windows and install their own debugger app (that just basically sends a report to the server)

    Machines will be Windows XP Pro
