I recently received a 64-bit crash dump from a customer.
Our processes are all 32-bit, but the customer's machine is running x64 Server 2008.
Visual Studio (both 2008 and 2010 Express) is telling me that I have to use the 64-bit version of MSVSMON.EXE, which I can't because I don't have a 64-bit machine.
I'm pretty sure there's a way to do this in WinDbg, but I find WinDbg to be hostile.
Is there any way to debug a 64-bit dump on a 32-bit machine, preferably using Visual Studio?
You need to make sure that customer uses 32 bit tools (adplus or DebugDiag) to capture crash dumps for your 32 bit processes. Then you can use your 32 bit machine to debug the dumps.
Though Isalamon's comment is technically correct, nobody would like to execute that as the stack trace is horrible.
Let your customer know that this is necessary, and hope that he/she cooperates.
