Overview of Dumpchk.exe
What Is Dumpchk.exe?
Dumpcheck Windows 10
Dumpchk.exe is a type of EXE file associated with MSDN Disc 1550 developed by Microsoft for the Windows Operating System. The latest known version of Dumpchk.exe is 1.0.0.0, which was produced for Windows. This EXE file carries a popularity rating of 1 stars and a security rating of 'UNKNOWN'.
What Are EXE Files?
EXE ('executable') files, such as dumpchk.exe, are files that contain step-by-step instructions that a computer follows to carry out a function. When you 'double-click' an EXE file, your computer automatically executes these instructions designed by a software developer (eg. Microsoft) to run a program (eg. MSDN Disc 1550) on your PC.
Every software application on your PC uses an executable file - your web browser, word processor, spreadsheet program, etc. - making it one of the most useful kinds of files in the Windows operating system. Without executable files like dumpchk.exe, you wouldn't be able to use any programs on your PC.

Additional InformationIf the Maintenance Expires date does not change, please verify in the Customer Portal or with the License Administrator that the key being used is the one with the renewed maintenance.
Why Do I Have EXE Errors?
Because of their usefulness and ubiquity, EXE files are commonly used as a method of delivery for virus / malware infection. Often, viruses will be disguised as a benign EXE file (such as dumpchk.exe) and distributed through SPAM email or malicious websites, which can then infect your computer when executed (eg. when you double-click the EXE file).
In addition, viruses can infect, replace, or corrupt existing EXE files, which can then lead to error messages when MSDN Disc 1550 or related programs are executed. Thus, any executable files that you download to your PC should be scanned for viruses before opening - even if you think it is from a reputable source.
When Do EXE Errors Occur?
EXE errors, such as those associated with dumpchk.exe, most often occur during computer startup, program startup, or while trying to use a specific function in your program (eg. printing).
Common Dumpchk.exe Error Messages
The most common dumpchk.exe errors that can appear on a Windows-based computer are:
- 'Dumpchk.exe Application Error.'
- 'Dumpchk.exe is not a valid Win32 application.'
- 'Dumpchk.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.'
- 'Cannot find dumpchk.exe.'
- 'Dumpchk.exe not found.'
- 'Error starting program: dumpchk.exe.'
- 'Dumpchk.exe is not running.'
- 'Dumpchk.exe failed.'
- 'Faulting Application Path: dumpchk.exe.'
These EXE error messages can appear during program installation, while a dumpchk.exe-related software program (eg. MSDN Disc 1550) is running, during Windows startup or shutdown, or even during the installation of the Windows operating system. Keeping track of when and where your dumpchk.exe error occurs is a critical piece of information in troubleshooting the problem.
The dumpchk command allows users to view the Windows minidump files created when Windows stops unexpectedly.
Availability
Dumpchk is an external command that is available for the following Microsoft operating systems as dumpchk.exe.
- Windows 2003
This command is available for Windows XP, however, it requires that the Windows XP Support Tools are installed on the computer. The Support Tools can be downloaded from Microsoft's website, or, if you have your Windows XP CD, can be found in the SupportTools directory.
Windows 2003 also supports this file but needs the Windows 2003 Support Tools to be installed.
TipIf the Support Tools have been installed, but this command is not working go into the C:Program FilesSupport Toolsdirectory and run the command. If this works, you can update your path to this directory, so it works in the future.
NoteAlthough dumpchk was available in the Windows 7 beta, it is no longer include with Windows. If you need debug utilities, use WinDbg.
