Outbreaker

The thing is that the "DataStore.edb" file is used by the "wuauserv" service so it needs to be stoped before i can overwrite the "DataStore.edb" file. But no matter what i try the .inf file is always executing the CopyFiles ("DataStore.edb") before the UnregisterDlls (SC stop "wuauserv"). So i try to find a workaround for the .inf file to first execute a command before a copy process.

True "net stop wuauserv" would be a more cleaner way to do this then "taskkill.exe /IM "wuauclt.exe" /F". But still have to find out how to execute this in a inf file before CopyFiles.

Interesting this one works great thanks. For anyone who asks themselves why i need this command here is the complete command i use. CMD /S /Q /V:ON /C "SET "EmptyFolder=%ProgramFiles%\Software\temp" & PUSHD "!EmptyFolder!" && (RMDIR "!EmptyFolder!" /S /Q 2>NUL & POPD)"This will delete everything in a folder but will not delete the Root folder (temp). I'm only not sure if i should use the /S at the beginning or not it works with both.

Here is the best i could come up with (Trimmed down). The "wuauclt.exe" process needs to be terminated so that the "DataStor.edb" file can be overwritten. But this does not works because the CopyFiles is executed before the UnregisterDlls so i'm trying to find a way around this problem.

HI, I try for hours to find a way to run taskkill in an .inf file before CopyFiles i tried so many different thinks but none have worked.

Thank you this command line is working great.

The first example didn't work so i used the last one but since i need to have everything in one code line i used this code below this one should work but it doesn't. CMD /Q /C V:ON SET "FM=FolderName" & ECHO "!FM!"

HI, I'm trying to get this first command line here to work but i have no luck to get it working. @ECHO OFFSET "FN=FolderName" & ECHO "%FN%"PAUSE But on separate lines i works. @ECHO OFFSET "FN=FolderName"ECHO "%FN%"PAUSE

I posted this a long time ago it's a bug in the KB2926765 update (shlwapi.dll) MickySoft never fixed it and in 2 month we can celebrate the 1st anniversary of this bug.

You trick worked for me to. Looks like MickySoft did again a great job.

I have exactly the same problem everything worked fine last week looks like MickySoft has again messed this up.

@harkaz Tested it and the fronts problem is gone and i also didn't run into any other problems. Is there any reason why you used the win32k.sys file verison 5.1.2600.6733 and not 5.1.2600.6713 (only one number higher than the KB3013455)? I think there could be an installation problem if Microsoft releases next month a win32k.sys with a file version below 5.1.2600.6734.

Please share.

I could run a test if you upload your modified "win32k.sys" file. Did you compare the Windows Server 2003 x86 Update KB3037639 (win32k.sys 5.2.3790.5534) with the previous Update KB3013455 (win32k.sys 5.2.3790.5513)?

It's really said that no one that has access to Windows XP Custom Support are posting the updates on the internet so that everyone could use them.

Check the version of the "win32k.sys" file in the folder "C:\WINDOWS\system32". And in my option they didn't do a NT5.1 patch is to p*** off the people that are still using Windows XP. It's not the first update mess they didn't fix for NT5.1. :angrym:

A fixed update for the KB3013455 is out but not for the Windows Embedded (NT 5.1) editions. https://support2.microsoft.com/kb/3037639/

Does anyone still remember the KB2926765 bug that breaks the option on Windows XP to change the "Internet" and "E-mail" item on the Start menu? I'm still wating for a Microsoft fix since May 2014.

Okay i now used Microsoft Update instead of Windows Updated and now i get also the same error on POSReady 2009. Nice done MickeySoft.

The POSReady 2009 does not have this problem and it also has no auth.cab, muauth.cab, muweb.cab or muweb.dll file. The wuweb.dll file version is 7.6.7600.257

Thank you for the help was looking 2 days for a solution for this.

Oh okay now it works i didn't know i had to also include "cmd.exe /C". @Tripredacus It's for a Unattended Setup so this wouldn't work if a user changes his password or deletes the user profile.

Unfortunately the tool "RunFromProcess" is not compatible with Windwos XP. Here is what i exactly try to do: I want to execute the command ("%ProgramFiles%\K-Lite Codec Pack\Tools\CodecTweakTool.exe" /verysilent /update /freq=7) every 2 days, but i can't do this in the Windwos XP Scheduled Task because this wont work when i run it a SYSTEM user. An alternative i tried was this Scheduled Task command: SCHTASKS /Create /RU "SYSTEM" /SC DAILY /MO 7 /TN "K-Lite Codec Pack Update Checker" /TR "REG ADD \"HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce\" /v \"K-Lite Codec Pack Update Checker\" /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d \"\\"\""%\"ProgramFiles\"%\K-Lite Codec Pack\Tools\CodecTweakTool.exe\\"\"" /verysilent /update /freq=7\" /f"This will add a registry entry to the RunOnce key so that this command above would be only once executed after a Admin login. But unfortunately this doesn't work with a Dial Up connection or when manually login into a modem because this comment will be then executed before an internet connection could be established. So i'm trying now to find another way to fix this problem.

In Windows XP you can create a Task that automatically runs a file with the SYSTEM user this way no password is required. But when running the Task as SYSTEM then it will not run any interactive processes. So i try to find a way to overcome this problem, The only idea i had was to use a script that would sit in the middle and would then be run by the Task with the SYSTEM user and the script would then execute an .exe file as the Current Login User without the need to enter the user account password.

HI, I like to make a Schedule Task on Windows XP that would run without the need to enter a password. The only solution for this would be to run the task with the SYSTEM account but this won't allow me to execute an .exe file (interactive processes). Is it possible to make a .cmd or .vbs script that would run with the SYSTEM acccount but would execute an .exe file with the Current User account?
