Download -› 216 KB (September 21, 2004)
Switches: KB873374.exe /Q:A /R:N (HALT BOX)
import this registry setting instead:
REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\GdiDetectionTool" /v "GDITool" /t REG_DWORD /d "00000001" /f

When i go here to download KB873374, it is no named KB873374, but gdidettool.exe.

So i say ok, no big deal, i'll just use that.
I import the registry setting:

CODE

C:\Documents and Settings\root\Desktop\Microsoft GDI+ Detection Tool>REG ADD "HK
LM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\GdiDetectionTool" /v "GDITool" /t REG_DWORD /d "00000001"
/f

The operation completed successfully

and then i run the file, with the switches:

CODE

C:\Documents and Settings\root\Desktop\Microsoft GDI+ Detection Tool>gdidettool.exe /Q:A /R:N

The problem is, that i still get 2 warning messages:

and

What i'm i doing wrong here?

Thanks

I used that method. It didn't work when I tested it on the desktop (like you are doing here). I tried it anyway in an unattended Windows install, and it worked without the messages. I have no idea why.
