Re: debugging app crashes under Vista

If drwtsn32.exe is there, then it should only require making a change in the Registry to
cause it to be invoked.

Have you been running under the debugger?

Err... hang on. 50% of our apps are now crashing, usually on shutdown.
WTF is happening ? OK, don't panic, reach for our old friend in times
of crisis DRWTSN32.LOG.

Except he's not there.

You're right DrWtsn32.exe is gone. However, DrWatson.exe is in
c:\windows\system32. If you start this, do you get a DrWtsn32.log file?

Have you tried remote debugging using the IDE debugger? It's fabulous.
