Hi,

I have included Dr.Watson component (QFE #832447 for SP1) in my image and
have test app (Simple divided by 0) to check Dr. Watson program produces
dump. When I run the test app on the image there is no user.dmp file
produced.

The test app works fine on Xp Pro.

any thoughts?

TIA

Jay
 
Jay,

I know almost nothing about that QFE component for SP1. But there is only "Dr. Watson Debugger" which you would need to add if you
are with SP2.

Anyway, you may want to check if the following registry key is set on your run time:
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DrWatson],"CrashDumpType".
Make sure it points to a file on unprotected partition if you happened to have EWF running on your image. (although memory dumps
would go bypassing EWF).
