Vista Index Errors!

[vyse]

recently i modified the path of index data from C:\ProgramData\Microsoft to D:\TMP.

then i changed it back to default C:\ProgramData\Microsoft.

and without reboot,i delete D:\TMP.

so the config files got lost.

Using SFC,i rebuild two files in search\data\config\

but the path still is D:\TMP after several change and reboots.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Search\

there're "DataDirectory" character string value and "DataDirectory" item

value are same D:\TMP

the first value changable,but the second errors

similarly,"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Search\Gathering Manager\DefaultApplicationsPath" and "TempPath" is D:\TMP and can't change.

so i can only modify DataDirectory character string to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft,

and search\data\temp fixed in D:\TMP

HOW could i restore it back to normal

CHINESE SYSTEM,but you may figure it out.

I already posted this issue here. I got no replies and I never figured it out.

Good luck.

Due to a hierarchy lay-out of Vista some items cannot be removed from the OS partition.

It is due to smome CLSID's in the registry and no one knows the one to change than Microsoft himself.

The only possibility is calling Microsoft or a much cheaper sollution is to do a in-place upgrade/repair.

It all has to do with security

PS: Try to fix it in a superadmin account, but take knowledge of the risks.

[gosh]

Microsoft also offers email support. I'm debating if i should research this. Have you used regmon?

-gosh

IN VISTA,REGMON FILEMON combined to PROCMON.

I've used it to capture some read from

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Search\

like"DataDirectory""TempPath"

some value is unchangeable.

I had turned off UAC.I think it is the top privilege account.

the problem is i can't modify the privilege set.

Anyone can modify them?

I'll find time research it...

[vyse]

anyone can help me out in another problem?

Please don't cross post like that again it is against the rules and very annoying simply if no-one has replied to your new thread in a couple of days give it a little *bump* as this will bring it back into attention. (Remember a couple of DAYS not hours) Also NO DOUBLE POSTING. Grrrrrrrrrr.

Now that thats said I think you may need a reformatt or a repair install.

[vyse]

no,reinstall is such a annoying thing.

there will be a solution.

[Kelsenellenelvian]

there will be a solution.

WOW you are definatly dedicated I wish I could help you out m8.

[vyse]

I'll try to modify the registry from other tools.

like some made-up boot tools disk.

It may take a few weeks,cause i'm preparing an exam.

see ya then

[vyse]

wow,JOB IS DONE!

I clear C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Search

then it works .

But i really don't know why in the previous trying i only can transfer the Applications and Config directory,but for Temp.

perhaps some update patch's effct?
