Retaining information from an MS crash reporter?

In Windows XP, when a process fails, a dialog box appears with a link:

"To view technical information about the bug report, click here.

The click here link displays a lot of information in the window, but there is no obvious way to save it to a file. Is there a way? It would be very nice to send this data to several external vendors we work with.

The only other option I see in the dialog is submit it to Microsoft, but this failure is most likely not a Microsoft bug and there is no reason to send it to them.

If you are a company, you can register with Microsoft to be able to download WER reports.

From the moment you see this dialog, you can still manually attach a debugger (such as Visual Studio) to the crash process and see all available exception entries. Alternatively, I believe you should be able to register Visual Studio to handle these failures instead of the normal error reporting mechanism. This article seems to have more information about this option:

Maybe a little late for the '08 question, but you can use Error Report Grabber software for this task anyway
