How do I install "Dumpchk utility" from the Reinstallation CD?

The Reinstallation CD Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition is the same thing as the Windows XP CD-ROM.

Note that if your XP CD is XP SP1 or earlier, and you have updated to SP2, you need to download and install the SP2 Windows support tools.

(although, if you only want to use dumpchk that was not updated in the SP2 pack, so the one from your CD would be OK)

Thank you Steve and JRosenfeld for your help!

I still have the original Windows XP (Dell Dimension 8200).

Well, ...I installed and reinstalled the Support Tools TWICE from the CD-ROM, but the dumpchk command is still not working:

the dumpchk black window opens up for half a second, and then closes.

Dumpchk won't stay open!!!

 

Should I try to find the reason why (does anyone know???), or should I just download a Debugging Tool from Windows such as:

 Debugging Tools for Windows - Native x64, in order to open the dump files ???

There are so many Debugging Tools to choose from, I'm not sure which one is the right one for my computer.

AnnaGC,

Try going to Start|Run, entering cmd and clicking OK. Then enter dumpchk at the command prompt.

There was no error. If you just start dumpchk it does its thing and closes its window (you saw it flash), If you run it from a cmd prompt, its output shows in the cmd which remains open. This is normal for execs that run from a command prompt or from the run box with appropriate command switches (the ones with a 'DOS' icon). If in the cmd prompt you type dumpchk /? you get all the switches for dumpchk and how to use them; similarly for other command prompt execs.
