I have coded a WPF application with complex video and trans coding features, using a couple of third-party DLLs.
It works fine in Windows 7 but when I try to run it on Windows XP, it crashes. I use a VMWARE station to simulate Windows XP as my test system.
What is the best way to check the crash reason?
What tools can read the crash report?
Usually you would use WinDbg/NTSD/CDB in Debugging Tools for Windows to read the crashdump, but to get the managed portion of the stack from you’d have to .load sos.dll and use its commands. VS2010 with it’s .NET 4.0 added support for mixed-mode dump debugging which is even better. Just open the crashdump in VS2010 as a project.
