AutoBlue BSOD Tool Application - Created by AceInfinity (2012)
USAGE: To use this program, copy over any dump files that you wish to analyze to the "\AutoBlue\Analyze_Dumps" folder, and click the "Start Analysis" button in the program, it may take some time depending on how many dumps you have to scan, but let it finish, then it will open up your output directory where it had saved all of the output logs.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the path to KD.exe and your Symbols directory path are correct! Check the settings from the application to save proper values for these settings.
1) $MicrosoftDrivers.txt - This file specifies the Microsoft Driver list. These are a list of drivers that are NOT to be returned in the $OutputDriverList.txt. If this file does not exist, you will get the $FullDriverResults.log as usual but the $OutputDriverList.txt which contains all of the "3rd party drivers" will not be created. This 3rd party driver list is created by weeding out all of the drivers in the $MicrosoftDrivers.txt, so it's important that you have a reliable source to keep this file up to date.
2) $ReturnValues.txt - This file is required by the application. If it doesn't exist, it will create a file with the default Return Value entries. What this file is meant to do is define a list of values to return to you based on the commands outputs in the $FullResults.log. This file looks for lines of command output that start with the following entries on each line, and if found, return it's value and append it as a line in the $OutputResults.log file, with your specified configuration for the code tags to put around the collected information to make it easier for you to paste out a quick reply in a forum or elsewhere.
3) ClearProcessed_Folders.bat - This file only clears all of the FOLDERS inside of the "Processed_Dumps" directory, it will not however clear any files in the directory itself, only file files from the directories inside the "Processed_Dumps" folder and all of the existing folders themselves. If you want it to clear ALL content (every file and folder) then uncomment the last "del" command in the batch file.
UPDATES: To check for updates to this application, click the update button at the top, makred by the up directional arrow image on one of the top buttons. (The hover text should let you know which one is the update button.) If updates are available, it will download the binary for you automatically. If you wish to use the most updated version, close the application, delete the old version, (make sure the new version executable is in the same directory as it's previous version) then run the new downloaded binary, and it will fire up with all of your previous settings from the older version.
FINAL NOTE: This application was created off the basis of the BSOD automated scripts created by jcgriff2 and usasma. Updates will be made for this application for as long as I continue the development on it. The initial idea for this program was inspired by the scripts when I started my research on how to make this application work. Eventually I want to make things more efficient with this application as time progresses; performance, user configurability, etc...
