I think I can say that most (not all) devs are using GCC and most of them do that on a Linux system. So getting minidumps which are compatible with MSVC wont help them much if MSVC is needed to view them. But as WINE can replay minidumps, I don't see a need anymore to use MSVC. > "The Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package (x86) > installs runtime components of Visual C++ Libraries required to run > applications developed with Visual C++ on a computer that does not > have Visual C++ 2005 installed." > 2.6MB won't kill anyone. > http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=32BC1BEE- > A3F9-4C13-9C99-220B62A191EE&displaylang=en I know that that package exists... But most people don't have it installed, so best would to ship it with the installer. But that is not what a modem user likes... And given that WINE also can read the minidump files, I think we don't need it. (And actually I dislike the idea to switch over to Windows to compile releases. ;) ) --Dennis
