How to collect crash data in BCDC++ 0.4034b on Win2k

Post by Ormek » 2004-10-15 02:03

Hi everyone,
I hope this is the right place to post, otherwise please redirect me.
After I updated to BCDC++ 0.4034b, I find BCDC++ crashed in the morning every other day. It tells me, that my OS (Win 2k) cannot collect crash data so sending a bug report would be futile.

Is there a way to allow BCDC++ to collect crash data on Win 2K? Perhaps, by installing a debug library or something?

I really like to support the development of BCDC++, at least by sending meaningfull and repeatable bug reports.
Best wishes

Yes; look for a dbghelp.dll library, I believe is the name. I'm pretty sure the regular DC++ distribution offers it.

Ok. I got the library and copied it in the same directory as dcplusplus.exe. We'll see wether (BC)dcplusplus will load it at run-time.
