Following my monthly patch of Windows 7, I checked the WRData folder and was surprised to see that a new file named WRSA.dmp had been created. It is 93 MB which was why I noticed something had changed as this folder is normally just around 20 MB.
On checking the Log file, I note that the timing of the dmp file creation coincides exactly with the system shutting down to allow Windows to install the updates.
This has never happened before and I was wondering why it was created this time (in this foldrer) and if I can safely delete it.
Regards
Nemo

Hi Nemo,
Is this what you are talking about? You usually do stay on top of this! ;)

Hi Sherry
Those are the normal Webroot db files.
I am referring to a Windows .dmp file. Maybe it got 'dumped' into the WRData file by mistake!

For some reason WRSA crashed or something else and it created the DUMP file so if you want send it to@ wrote:

Hi ? ?
I was about to send a message to@nic with the dmp file and then couldn't see a means of attaching the file! Am I missing something or is there another way?

I got your Sherry.
You can just email me at ntolstoshev@webroot.com and you'll probably need to use a file transfer service.

Great Nic!
Hello ---
I see this is an older topic, but wondering what the outcome was? : What are the large .dmp files which turn up occasionally in the WRdata folder? (In my case... Typical filename: WRSA-C-9.0.17.28-WSAINSTALL.EXE.dmp)
I assume they are dump files generated during an install operation, but what triggered the dump, is that trigger resolved, and how important is it to retain them?
Thanks!
