What's new in User Mode Process Dumper 8.1

Aug 8, 2006
  • Thread time information is added to the dump file by default so that debugger extension !runaway works.
  • Added all other meaningful MiniDumpWriteDump() options available in dbghelp.dll V6.4.7.1
  • Comment stream is added to the dump file indicating that the dump file was generated by userdump.exe. Comment includes Computer Name and how userdump.exe was launched
  • New userdump.exe -W option is added to add Window handle information. udext.dll debugger extension DLL is provided to see this information by debugger to debug the dump file.
  • EXEs and DLLs are now installed to %windir%system32kktools folder and this location is added to system path.
  • Userdump.exe is linked with dbghelp.dll dynamically for x86, too. You now need userdump.exe and dbghelp.dll provided with userdump.exe even in command line mode. The same dbghelp.dll is also installed for full-featured mode.
  • Userdump.exe no longer uses system provided dbghelp.dll on x64 and IPF. Instead, dbghelp.dll provided with userdump is always used on all platforms � x86, x64, and IPF.
  • Process Monitoring and Hot Key snapshot support long process names up to 32 bytes.
  • Process Monitoring supports "Switch the dumper" option to specify an alternative dumper such as sqldumper.exe.
  • Process Exit Monitoring supports dumping both a process being killed and a process who called NtTerminateProcess() in the cross-process termination scenario.
  • Process Exit Monitoring allows to specify either Complete minidump, Small minidump, or No dump .
  • Process Exception Monitoring allows to specify Complete minidump or Small minidump.
  • Process Exception Monitoring can catch exceptions raised by calling RaiseException() in WOW64 processes.
  • Process Exception Monitoring always catches exceptions raised by RaiseException() regardless of "Ignore exceptions that occur inside Kernel32.dll" switch.
  • The control panel applet was refined for better GUI.
  • Non-privileged users can no longer launch the control panel applet.
  • Improved event logging to log at the beginning and the end of dumping and indicates process names/PIDs.
