I honestly found that the bug reporter that you can include in your 
standalones to be buggy itself, and did not work for any of my programs.

So instead I rolled my own.  When an error occurs, my error script will 
execute and show a custom dialog that allows them to send the error 
report to me.

It get's as much information about their system as possible, along with 
the error information, and then it emails it to me over a script on my 
server.

Doing this, IMHO, allows you to have more control over the error report. 
  You can get information not normally included, like the current rect 
of a window, what windows are open, how long the program has been open, 
so on and so fourth.
