Capture API / Tool Platform Information - Windows Error Reporting Equivalent
I am developing a .NET based desktop application written in C #. If and when the application crashes, I would like to capture some details regarding the machine the application was running on:
- Operating system information: version, service pack, etc.
- .NET Details: Framework Version
- Installed programs
- Processes executed during the crash.
- Something I am missing, but should be here.
Is there a tool or set of APIs that allows me to get all of this? What I would like to do is call the API (when it fails), grab all the details and let the user tell me about it. Something like Windows Error Reporting Service.
PS: Right now I can't register for the Windows Error Messaging service itself .
