Instructions

To set up MiniFuzz:

1. Ensure that the host system is running the latest version of Windows OS supported by your application.

NOTE: If you are using MiniFuzz on Windows Server 2003, you may need to manually create multiple registry keys to accommodate MiniFuzz on that version of the Sever 2003. You can run the following command-line scripts to automatically create the appropriate registry settings:

REG add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting" /f

REG add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting" /v DontShowUI /t REG_DWORD /d 1

REG add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting" /v ExcludedApplications /t REG_MULTI_SZ
