Registry Backup Problem
Digerati:
New to here, but not forums or computers.
Ztruker asked me to check out Registry Backup and report any problems here. I am getting same error, so rather than start new thread, I piggybacked here (but can open new thread, if desired).
Error message:
--- Quote ---Volume Shadow Copy Failed! isn't running. Check the Log_VSS.txt file to view any errors.
--- End quote ---
And said log says,
--- Quote ---C:\>-script="C:\Windows\temp\vss-setvar.bat" -exec="C:\Windows\temp\vss.bat" C:
'-script' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
--- End quote ---
This is with Windows 7 Pro, 64-bit. I have re-registered wmiutils.dll with no help.
Minor quibble - note the lower case "i" in isn't. Also, installation prompts for "Shortcut Folder". I find the term "Shortcut Folder" confusing as that is not a common term used in program installations. It should say "Start Menu" location.

Your problem is very different than the other so I just split the thread to a new one :-)

That is an odd error to get, can you attach the vss log for me?

I see how the "isn't" shouldnt be there, I will fix that. On the short cut folder I use setup factory 9 to make my installs and that is just the default as they have it in the program. Thankfully I can change it though :-)

I think I might already see the problem, I noticed it with the "isn't running" line.
It should have said what vss exe it was running.
This is in the program
"Volume Shadow Copy Failed! " & sVSSexe & " isn't running.
It should show what vss exe it has chosen to run. The program uses WMI to pull the OS information on the system so it knows which exe to run. If that didnt work I can see the problem.
Attach all the logs for me if you would. I am also making an update to the program for this Sunday that will put all the variables it pulls from the system into the log file so I can tell when it isnt pulling something correctly :wink:

New test version is in the works if you want to give it a try :-)

First, sorry for hijacking the other thread. I should have just started a new one.
Still no good with new version. When it first runs, I get the following odd error:
--- Quote ---Unable to detect which version of windows to run the VSS. Please manually select the correct VSS exe to use.
--- End quote ---
(Quibble note: note the lower case "w" on Windows).
When I select okay to close the error popup, I get the Registry Backup GUI, but then the backup fails with the same Volume Shadow Copy Failed error.
Here is the Log_VSS.txt:
