I've created a Cmd-file and called it from the cmdlines.txt [Commands] "runonceex.cmd" That's all.

Hi XPero, you used "BUILDIN\Adminstrators" to grant control. This code snippet retrives the translated Name (in German: VORDEFINIERT\Administratoren"). I hope this will work. Could you include this code into your tool? string getName(WellKnownSidType wksid) { SecurityIdentifier sid = new SecurityIdentifier(wksid, null); NTAccount account = (NTAccount)sid.Translate(typeof(NTAccount)); return account.Value; } getName(WellKnownSidType.BuiltinAdministratorsSid)

no, it still doesn't work on my German Vista

This is a general problem with Version 1.5. Version 1.4.2 worked perfectly. And sorry, I can't give you the links to the new hotfixes, because I requested them from support for some special problems. Can you tell us what TrID returns? This is the output for WindowsXP-KB935989-x86-DEU.exe: TrID/32 - File Identifier v2.02 - (C) 2003-06 By M.Pontello Definitions found: 2359 Analyzing...

ok, I will wait

any progress with the new version?

ok, no problem. I will test the new version asap after you release it

Hi XPero, this version grants access to the user Administrator, but not the group Administratoren (Administrators). André

I don't know if it was mentioned, but I can't extract Windows Hotfixes any longer. Please make an update.

ok, I will try it out this evening, when I'm at home.

your tool doesn't work on NON English versions of Vista. you used the following code: process.StartInfo.FileName = "icacls"; process.StartInfo.Arguments = file + " /grant Administrators:(F)"; Administrators is the name on english Vistas, but on non english version the identification of the group Administrators is translated. For Example Administratoren in german. So you code doesn't work. You have to change the string according to the installed langauge.

did you replace some DLLs or MUI files?

Question see topic^^. Everytime I change my avatar, it is being deleted after a few days.

thats a strange place, but thanks for figuring this out.

I always use the kx-drivers and they work fanstastic under Vista.

you can add hotfixes by using the WAIK.

I also use this version, but I can't extrac the files 7-Zip 4.46 Beta works perfect for extracting the msp files from the exe

I also use this version, but I can't extrac the files

Install the kit and read the documentation. If you prefer a tool take a look at "Vista Update Integrator": http://www.winvistaside.de/download/details.php?file=47 To use this tool, you must have the WAIK installed!!

cool, thx

Hi nuhi, you didn't change the Version of your assembly, it is still 0.9.5.0.

there is a legal way. Use the WAIK to create a new DVD and include the new language packs.

ok, download Process Monitor from Sysinternals and run the tool in capturing mode. Now start TextPad5 and bringt the Process Monitor Window to the front and stop capturing. Now filter for Textpad.exe and look what files and keys Textpad reads, so you should be able to find the place where the information are stored.

search for Helios, perhaps this helps
