Error Log file

Post by jbowen28 »

Does anyone know whether Visual Studio (VS8 in my case) saves error descriptions to a log file? I know some VS pop ups indicate so but I have not been able to locate the log file if it is actually generated. I am very interested in this because I often do not have time to sit by my computer waiting for error pop ups to appear while VS8 is rendering for 3 hours.

Click on the Start menu, select Run, and enter drwtsn32. This is Microsoft's Dr. Watson error logging utility. The first edit control is for the location where the error logs get saved, which usually points to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Dr Watson.

In that folder you'll find a text file named drwtsn32.log if any errors have been logged.
