Prevent Windows Error Reporting (DW20.exe) window for a particular process

I have an automated build system set up on a Windows box, but one of the compiling tools randomly fail to work. The whole system works as a service, so it has no interaction with users. I detect the failure by looking at the DW20.exe process. The failed process waits for a user to click a button, so it stops the whole build system.

Can I prevent Windows Error Reporting from waiting for user actions for a particular process (or a particular Windows user)?

The box has Windows Server 2008 R2 installed, and the process is Intel Fortran compiler (ifort.exe).

There are some relevant options in WER Settings, such as DefaultConsent, DontShowUI or (as a last resort) ExcludedApplications.
