Description
Windows build of QtCreator is not build with debug information, which makes user reported crashdumps useless.
With debugging information enabled for release builds and having a symbol server as described in this MSDN Magazine issue http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc163563.aspx the QtCreator Developers will have access to the memory / stack trace / threads information / line that caused the crash.
In order to benefit from the users crash dumps here is a list of steps:
1. Compile QtCreator with debug information (/Zi for compiler, /DEBUG for linker)
2. Configure Windows clients machines (especially Windows 7 ) to save the dump files

WinDBG and Visual Studio can open *.dmp files, I don't know if QtCreator can load the mini dump files.
