New version of LegitCheckControl

[Tomalak]

Hello all (sorry for disturbing the silence in this forum these days ;-)),

in the past few weeks it was not necessary (or even counterproductive?) to put the LegitCheckControl.cab into the HFCABS folder as it was available only in version 1.5.0530, but the update KB905474 already contained version 1.5.0540. Everything went fine using just that update, not the cab file.

Now a new version of the LegitCheckControll.dll is available for download (version 1.5.0708, http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=39204). Can somebody confirm - before I have to try it out myself in a few days - that from now on the correct way consists again of providing the update KB905474 in the HF directory _and_ the current LegitCheckControl.cab in the HFCABS directory? What will I end up with, can these two files go together?

Thanks,

Commander Tomalak

I was hoping that this wouldn't happen for a while longer. Oh, and on a side note, the size of the DLL has increased dramatically!!

I think your best bet would be to follow ONE of the following two steps:

1. Keep KB905474 in HF. Rename the updated LegitCheckControl.dll to LCC.dll. Compress it using the command MAKECAB /D CompressionMemory=21 /D CompressionType=LZX LCC.dll. Place the resulting file (LCC.dl_) in the FIX folder.

2. Keep KB905474 in HF. Rename the updated LegitCheckControl.dll to LCC.dll. Place it into HFEXPERT\APPREPLACEMENT, remembering to place modifyPE.exe in HFTOOLS.

Obviously, the last option seems easier.

Either Tomcat or the_guy should have a better response regarding your best course of action.

I'm not sure, but I think HFSLIP can detect newer versions, and keep the newer versions while deleting the older ones. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

All you have to do is put the downloaded CAB file in HFCABS leaving KB905474 in the HF folder and HFSLIP will take care of the rest.

You need to edit the link to remove the ) at the end of the link.

All I can say is that I have LegitCheckControl.cab in HFCABS for all OS's and KB905474 in HF for XP SP2. Never had a problem with it....

@heisking, if the DLL in KB905474 is newer than that in LegitCheckControl.cab, it causes a problem with WGAN (on XP SP2, of course).

Tomalak, maybe you should just wait until MS releases a new KB905474 .

Too late :-) Reinstalled Windows today and used the way described in my first post and suggested by Tomcat76: putting the cab in the HFCABS and KB905474 in HF folder. It worked flawlessly - the newer dll was used, and I didn't have to update anything after installation was finished, i.e. WU was completely satisfied as version 1.5.0708 was present.

Thanks,

Cool, great! Thanks for testing it (not that you wouldn't have ).
