Return Value

The size of the Windows Embedded Compact error reporting dump area indicates success. It returns zero in user mode. A size of zero indicates that Windows Embedded Compact error reporting is not implemented by the OEM.

Remarks

You must initialize the cbErrReportSize variable to the amount of memory needed for the dump files in OEMInit. Reserve a minimum of 128 KB for dump files. The amount of memory must be a multiple of the PAGE_SIZE of the device.
