Reading a windows *.dmp file
c, c++, windows
Solution
Using Visual Studio's File>Open Project or the free WinDbg's (part of Debugging Tools for Windows) File>Open Crash Dump select the dmp file.
Make sure to configure the tools to include a path to the location of the PDB debugging symbols for that application (you do have symbols right?). Either tool has a thread and call stack window that should give you a good idea where the crash occurred. Including paths to the source code will help as well.
Symbol and Source paths can be set in WinDbg under the File menu. It's buried in Visual Studio under Tools>Options>Debugging>Symbols and Tools>Options>Project and Solutions>VC++ Directores
Problem
