Huh?
Well that's misleading.
Please explain further on what you want to achieve.

So that behavior i want to emulate.
You may get the same info from Event Viewer!!
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.
What development platform are you using?
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.
They said they are going to use VC++
Assumption based on this article...

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
