Question
Tuesday, April 20, 2010 11:54 AM
I have been using Visual Studio 2010 Premium Edition for a week.
It sometime crashes on opening up Solution (click it from Start Page).
No specific error reported to user, it just want to restart. Once restarted it works fine.
If possible I want to submit the error to MS for further investigation.
Please let me know where can I find the error logs.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Ferry,
Based on your description, it seems that you want to get the log files when you run VS instance to troubleshoot the crash.
To get Visual Studio and logs all activity to the specified log file when we apply Visual Studio products, we can issue "/log" option to run Visual Studio instance.
Please go to Start menu >> Run >> type "Devenv.exe /log <log path>". Then the log files will be generated in the <log path>.

Frankly speaking, for VS IDE crash issue, there would be many causes for it to happen.
You might refer to my reply in the following thread to try some common steps for troubleshooting.

One quick way to check the root cause of crash issue, you could get the memory dump and report your issue to MSDN feedback site: http://connect.microsoft.com.
Hope this helps. If you have any concern, please feel free to let me know.

Thank you Yichun. That's devenv.exe /log is exactly what I'm looking for.
