You need to have the uncompressed EXE file and a PDB file generated for that
EXE. You
also need to have the source code that you used when building the EXE. I suppose
these should be enough to read the minidump.

I performed the following experiment with the standart test application
CrashRptTest:
1. Downloaded CrashRpt v.1.2.4.
2. Compiled the solution CrashRpt in Release configuration. This generated EXE
and
PDB files.
3. Created a copy of bin folder (named it 'Copy of bin')
4. Downloaded UPX compressor (http://upx.sourceforge.net/). Unzipped it. Copied
upx.exe to the bin folder.
5. Typed 'upx.exe -9 CrashRptTest.exe'. This compressed CrashRptTest.exe and
redused
it size from 131072 to 44032 bytes.
6. Ran CrashRptTest.exe and pressed the 'Win32 null pointer exception' button.
This
generated a error report. I exported the report to some folder using the
'Export...'
button on the Error Report Details dialog.
7. Unzipped the error report and copied crasdump.dmp to the 'Copy of bin'
folder.
8. Double-clicked the copied crashdump.dmp file. This opened it in Visual
Studio.
9. Eventually, I see that the crash occurred on line 668 of crashrpt.cpp:
// Access violation
int *p = 0;
*p = 0;
So, it is the right place. Seems it works ok.
Does the same technique work for you? Was you able to resolve the issue?

I compressed the CrashRptTest.exe with PECompact and it worked, the dump
pointed me
the error line. But on my application it doesnt work, meaby I didnt set some
options
to CrashRpt on compiling?

Do you have any optimizations enabled (/O compiler switch)? If so, this may be
the
reason. Try to disable optimizations and read a minidump.

It seems there is nothing to fix here. PECompact doesn't seem to affect
minidump.

the crashrpttest works ok, but my application after compressing doesnt. Meaby
its because of TLS?

Please create a new issue and describe how do you determine your application
doesn't work? What do you expect to see and what do you see instead?
