Windows Error Reporting Setup (WERSetup)

Product Description:

First introduced with the release of Windows Vista, the Windows Error Reporting function or, in short, WER, makes it possible to collect error reports whenever a program in Windows crashes. These reports greatly help in understanding what caused the crash and finding solutions to avoid such issues in the future.

Given its potentially helpful contribution to debugging an issue, it is only normal that users and developers specifically keep the Windows Error Reporting feature active. In Windows, you can only configure the WER function via the registry. The Windows Error Reporting Setup (WERSetup) application comes to the rescue to help you configure WER to collect crash reports to your benefit. In other words, this lightweight application provides a simple user interface for setting up the Windows Error Reporting registry key.

Right from the start you should know that, since the application makes modifications to the system’s registry, it is mandatory that you run it with administrator privileges. Otherwise, you will not be able to save changes.

Key Features:
