Re: can't remember last time NMAP ran without crashing

[Daniel Miller <bonsaiviking () gmail com>]

Steve,

Thanks for the report. Zenmap stores the Nmap XML output in a temporary
file which should be C:\TEMP\zenmap-*.xml. There may be some helpful
information there regarding which phase of the scan is crashing. Do you
know if it crashes right away, or if it takes several minutes or an hour or
more before it crashes?

Alternatively (and this is probably the best option), copy the scan command
from Zenmap (from the Command: input box after selecting the appropriate
profile and target) into a cmd.exe window and run it directly from the
command line. You may need to first change directory into Nmap's install
directory if you did not add Nmap to your PATH: cd "C:\Program Files
(x86)\Nmap\"

This should let you see the entire output of the scan, including any error
messages Nmap outputs before crashing. Send the information in reply to
this thread and we will see what we can do.
