Collect a dump for VS/ReSharper crash with Windows Error Reporting

Question

How to collect a dump for a Visual Studio/ReSharper crash?

Answer

There's an alternative way for collecting a dump using the default Windows reporting service and a temporary registry editing:

1. Download files attached to this article.
2. Run the attached enable_dumps_oop file. This will add registry settings that collect dumps on the Visual Studio crash.
3. Create a folder at C:\JetDumps.
4. Reproduce the crash.
5. Locate the dump. It will be located in the C:\JetDumps folder. It could take a bit of time for it to appear after the crash. You can check your Task Manager for the "Windows Error Reporting" process - if there is one and it's active, it means that the dump is still being produced.
6. Run the attached disable_dumps_oop file. It will remove registry settings added on step one.
7. (Optional) Compress the dump into a zip, 7z, or another kind of archive. Dumps are typically large and typically highly compressible.
8. Share this dump file with the support team for analysis with some way described here.
