title: How to use Microsoft Application Verifier
body: <p>Using C++ and discovered today during a demo that I'm suffering from a corrupted heap (but only on important occasions!!). I found a <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/691794/finding-where-memory-was-last-freed">few posts here on SO</a> and decided to download <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=20028" rel="noreferrer">Application Verifier</a> and <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/hh852363" rel="noreferrer">Debugging tool</a>. I am current running Visual Studio 2010. </p>
  
  <p>So, now I'm left with an installtion of the the debugging tool where I get a folder called Windows Kits. In the folder I have an app called WinDbg where I tried to open my app and run it. It worked fined but I was not able to get any info about my heap corruption. Then I installed the verifier which only left me with a header file and a .dll file which I dont know what to do with.</p>
  
  <p>So, could anyone please tell me how to use this tool so that I dont have to suffer anymore embarrassing moments like these? Been searching in forums and since I dont even know how to open the verifier, I'm truly lost when I read the instructions how to use it (from 2009)</p>
