Open MDMP File
An MDMP format and extension file is a compressed data file created by Windows after a program crash or error.
The MDMP contains data "dumped" from the program's memory space, which includes error information that can be used for debugging.
MDMP files are typically created along with an uncompressed HDMP file and may be submitted to Microsoft as part of a bug feedback process.
Open an MDMP file
You can open for analysis an MDMP file using Microsoft Visual Studio by selecting File ? Open Project, setting the "Files of type" option to "Dump Files", choosing the MDMP file, clicking Open , and then running the debugger.
The debugger will create a mock process, which will stop at the instruction responsible for the failure.
MDMP files can also be parsed using WinDbg, a debugging program that is part of the Microsoft Windows SDK.
