It is unlikely it will need to be modified frequently if at all, +but if that changes we can always create a little nicer tooling for it. + +dump\_helper\_resource.bin is used to populate the DUMP\_HELPER resource inside coreclr.dll on Windows. When an application crashes, Windows MinidumpWriteDump is planning to scan +modules looking for this resource. The content of the resource is expected to be the name of a dll in the same folder, encoded in UTF8, null terminated, that implements the +CLRDataCreateInterface function. For OS security purposes MinidumpWriteDump will do an authenticode signing check before loading the indicated binary, however if your build isn't +signed you can get around this limitation by registering it at HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\MiniDumpAuxilliaryDlls.
