Where is the Visual Studio 2008 Crash Log?

Question

I have Visual Studio 2008 with SP1 installed and it is crashing when I'm using lambda expressions in the Moq Framework.

At first I thought the problem was Resharper...but now that I have uninstalled it, VS 2008 still crashes. I'm able to replicate the issue every time.

I'm thinking perhaps it may be some other plugin that is causing the issue rather than VS 2008...but I can't be sure of that.

So what I'm trying to find is where Visual Studio logs the crashes that occur?

Unfortunately I'm unable to find it...does anyone out there know if it exists and if so where to look?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

I'd suggest using WinDbg to run an instance of VS, and when it crashes look at managed and unmanaged callstacks.

Answer 2

Just a few days ago, I learned about devenv.exe's /log switch. I suggest you give that a try.

Answer 3

The Power Commands add-in was responsible for a similar crash to desktop issue I experianced.
