To get Windows Error Report (WER) reports for a Win32 executable from Microsoft, you can follow these steps:

  1. Enable Windows Error Reporting on the target machine:

    • Open the "Control Panel" and navigate to "System and Security" -> "Action Center" -> "Problem Reporting Settings".
    • Select the option "Automatically check for solutions" or "Automatically check for solutions and send additional report data" depending on your preference.
    • Click on "OK" to save the changes.

  2. Reproduce the error on the target machine:

    • Execute the Win32 executable that you want to generate the WER report for.
    • Trigger the error or issue that you want to capture.

  3. Wait for the report to be uploaded:

    • Windows Error Reporting will automatically collect and upload the error report to Microsoft.
    • The process may take some time depending on the size of the report and the network connection.

  4. Retrieve the report from Microsoft:

    • Visit the Windows Error Reporting portal at https://wer.microsoft.com/.
    • Sign in with a Microsoft account associated with the target machine.
    • Navigate to the "View all problem reports" section.
    • Look for the specific report related to your Win32 executable.
    • Download the report and analyze the information captured.

Please note that the availability and accessibility of the reports may depend on various factors, including the settings and policies of the target machine and the specific version of Windows being used.
