Description
===========

AppCrashView is a small utility for Windows Vista and Windows 7 that

displays the details of all application crashes occurred in your system.
The crashes information is extracted from the .wer files created by the
Windows Error Reporting (WER) component of the operating system every
time that a crash is occurred. AppCrashView also allows you to easily
save the crashes list to text/csv/html/xml file.

System Requirements
===================

For now, this utility only works on Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows
Server 2008, Windows 8, and Windows 10. simply because the earlier
versions of Windows don't save the crash information into .wer files.
It's possible that in future versions, I'll also add support for Windows
XP/2000/2003 by using Dr. Watson (Drwtsn32.exe) or other debug component
that capture the crash information.

Versions History
================

* Version 1.35
o Added 'Quick Filter' feature (View -> Use Quick Filter or
Ctrl+Q). When it's turned on, you can type a string in the text-box
added under the toolbar and AppCrashView will instantly filter the
application crashes list, showing only lines that contain the string
you typed.

* Version 1.31
o Added 'Run As Administrator' option (Ctrl+F11), which allows you
to easily run AppCrashView as administrator for viewing crash reports
that are not accessible for non-admin user.
o Fixed bug: AppCrashView failed to remember the last size/position
of the main window if it was not located in the primary monitor.

* Version 1.30
o Added 'Exception Code Description' column.

* Version 1.25
o Added option to delete the selected reports.

 time settings.

o Added 'Open Process Folder' option.

specify the exact reports folder you want to load, for example:
AppCrashView.exe /ReportsFolder "c:\temp\wer"

* Version 1.12
o Fixed bug: The crash items located under 'All Users' profile
displayed twice.
o Added 'Auto Size Columns+Headers' option.

* Version 1.11
o Added 'Mark Odd/Even Rows' option, under the View menu. When it's
turned on, the odd and even rows are displayed in different color, to
make it easier to read a single line.

this option is turned on, the column names are added as the first

caused problems to some xml viewers.

* Version 1.05
o Added more WER folders.
o Added 'Show ReportArchive Files' and 'Show ReportQueue Files'
options. 'Show ReportQueue Files' option is turned off by default,
because the ReportQueue folder doesn't contain crashes or critical
errors.
o Added /ProgramData command-line option.

* Version 1.00 - First release.

Using AppCrashView
==================

AppCrashView doesn't require any installation process or additional dll

files. In order to start using it, simply run the executable file -
AppCrashView.exe

The main window of AppCrashView contains 2 pane. The upper pane displays
the list of all crashes found in your system, while the lower pane
displays the content of the crash file that you select in the upper pane.
You can select one or more crashes in the upper pane, and then save them
(Ctrl+S) into text/html/xml/csv file or copy them to the clipboard ,and
paste them into Excel or other spreadsheet application.
Command-Line Options

Specifies the user profiles folder (e.g: c:\users) to load. If this
parameter is not specified, the profiles folder of the current operating
system is used.

/ReportsFolder <Folder>
Specifies the folder that contains the WER files you wish to load.

/ShowReportQueue <0 | 1>

Specifies whether to enable the 'Show ReportQueue Files' option. 1 =
enable, 0 = disable

/ShowReportArchive <0 | 1>

/stext <Filename>

/scomma <Filename>

/sverhtml <Filename>

/sort <column>
This command-line option can be used with other save options for sorting
by the desired column. If you don't specify this option, the list is
sorted according to the last sort that you made from the user interface.
The <column> parameter can specify the column index (0 for the first
column, 1 for the second column, and so on) or the name of the column,
like "Event Name" and "Process File". You can specify the '~' prefix
character (e.g: "~Event Time") if you want to sort in descending order.
You can put multiple /sort in the command-line if you want to sort by
multiple columns.

Examples:
AppCrashView.exe /shtml "f:\temp\crashlist.html" /sort 2 /sort ~1
AppCrashView.exe /shtml "f:\temp\crashlist.html" /sort "Process File"
/nosort
When you specify this command-line option, the list will be saved without
any sorting.

Translating AppCrashView to other languages

===========================================

In order to translate AppCrashView to other language, follow the

instructions below:
1. Run AppCrashView with /savelangfile parameter:
AppCrashView.exe /savelangfile
A file named AppCrashView_lng.ini will be created in the folder of
AppCrashView utility.
2. Open the created language file in Notepad or in any other text
editor.
3. Translate all string entries to the desired language. Optionally,
you can also add your name and/or a link to your Web site.
(TranslatorName and TranslatorURL values) If you add this information,
it'll be used in the 'About' window.
4. After you finish the translation, Run AppCrashView, and all
translated strings will be loaded from the language file.
If you want to run AppCrashView without the translation, simply rename
the language file, or move it to another folder.
