A windows process got crashed for some reason. I need to analyse the crash dump.
In Windows 2003 PC health helped us to find the crash dump file.
How to get the crash dump file location in Windows 2008?

Windows keeps a list of all the small memory dump files in the %SystemRoot%\Minidump folder. The small memory dump file can be useful when hard disk space is limited.
The full process dumps caused by the "DumpType" configuration are not written to "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\WER\", and instead by default are written to a "%LOCALAPPDATA%\CrashDumps" directory which is relative to the current user profile.
Click Open Crash Dump on the File menu to open a user-mode or kernel-mode crash dump file and to analyze it. This command is equivalent to pressing CTRL+D.
I have observed on Windows 2008 the Windows Error Reporting crash dumps get staged in the folder:
C:\Users\All Users\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportQueue
Which, starting with Windows Vista, is an alias for:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportQueue
