How can I debug a win32 process that unexpectedly terminates silently?

Question

I have a Windows application written in C++ that occasionally evaporates. I use the word evaporate because there is nothing left behind: no \"we\'re sorry\" message from Window

Answer 1

First of all I want to say that I've only a moderate experience on windows development. After that I think this is a typical case where a log may help.

Normally debugging and logging supply orthogonal info. If your debugger is useless probably the log will help you.
