WinDBG vs BSOD exe
I'm slightly familiar with the BSOD_Windows7_....exe provided on this forum, but I also see reference to the Microsoft-provided WinDBG and would like to understand their purposes. The BSOD thing seems to be mostly a data collection tool, but doesn't have much built in debugging. Is that correct, or am I underestimating it?
"Debugging Tool for Windows" sort of implies it's a debugging tool rather than just a data collection tool. Is that correct, or is it's name an exaggeration? Is it worth installing? I currently have just the client part of .NET and WinDBG requires the full .NET; I'm reluctant to go through the hassle of installing it if WinDBG isn't going to buy me anything.
