Suppress GPF message box when child process crashes

I have a C# Windows service which frequently starts an external process,
let's say TOOL.EXE. TOOL.EXE is an unmanaged third-party 32 bits command line
application.

However, TOOL.EXE is a bit unstable, so sometimes it crashes with a General
Protection Fault. In this case Windows shows a GPF message box. Since I would
like to handle this error condition myself in the C# Windows service, I'd
like to suppress this message box.

Any ideas how to do this?
Thanks,
Guido

Hi Guido,

First of all, I would like to confirm my understanding of your issue. From
your description, I understand that you need to trap the exception thrown
from another process. If there is any misunderstanding, please feel free to
let me know.

As far as I know, we are unable to achieve this by trapping the exception
from another process. I think you have to modify the tool.exe to achieve
this.
