What actions do I need to take to get a crash dump in ALL error scenarios?

Question

We\'re on Windows and we want to get a crash dump (possibly using MiniDumpWriteDump) for all scenarios where our application exit\'s unexpectedly.

Answer 1

You can catch any exception with WER. As you have seen the CRT sometimes forces to call WER.

If you want to always catch excpetion in-process, you need to prevent the calling of SetUnhandledExceptionFilter(NULL) from the CRT. For more info see my blog entry: Improved “PreventSetUnhandledExceptionFilter”
