If you want to see a crash dump, you need to create one. See Heisenbug: WinApi program crashes on some computers . While you may be able to get the crash dump intended to be send for WER without going through WinQual, it is a bit messy (basically you can copy it from the temporary location before it is sent away, exact details depend on your operating system), I would recommed to create your own crashdump using the Win API MiniDump provided functions. All code needed for this can be found at The CodeProject page mentioned in the linked answer.
