Using procdump as AeDebug tool, how can I change dump directory?

338 views Asked by At

I'm using procdump to create minidump automatically when process is crashed. It works with the following syntax:

procdump64 -i

But the dump folder is C:\Users\Administrator, how can I change to C:\dumps?

I tried to use procdump64 -j c:\dumps -i and it does not work.

(That's some time since this question was posted, but it worth an answer)

(For convenience, I'll use procdump (instead of procdump64)

From the question, it's implied that executing the following should just work (in the OP's use case, writing a dump to C:\Users\Administrator):

procdump -i

...but at least on my end, it doesn't.

It seems mandatory to specifiy what type of dump should be written ("Full" (-ma), "Mini" (-mm), etc). The dump types can be listed by simply executing procdump.

Back to the question, the following should work,:

procdump -ma -i c:\dumps

Note that if the destination folder requires administrator permissions, this might not work, even if procdump is ran under a run-as-administrator cmd (that's what I experienced).
