How can I debug a win32 process that unexpectedly terminates silently?

Question

I have a Windows application written in C++ that occasionally evaporates. I use the word evaporate because there is nothing left behind: no \"we\'re sorry\" message from Window

Answer 1

You could try using the adplus utility in the windows debugging tool package.

adplus -crash -p yourprocessid

The auto dump tool provides mini dumps for exceptions and a full dump if the application crashes.
