Question about WU downloads

<< < (2/2)

Boggin:
Okay - I'll email Shane with a link to your thread to see if he has any comment.

Willy2:
- I should have given more details earlier.
- Let me explain a bit more. For Windows to work a bunch of files needs to "registered" using the REGSVR32 command. Then Windows knows in which folder those files are located and - when I am right - loaded/read upon start up. But for Vista systems it matters in what order some files are registered. E.g.

    REGSVR32 file1 /s
    REGSVR32 file1 /s /i

won't break the VSS writers. But if this happens in this order

    REGSVR32 file1 /s /i
    REGSVR32 file1 /s

it DOES break the VSS writers. This weird behaviour has been taken into account in "Register System Files" and "Repair VSS" but it hasn't in - at least - one other repair ("Repair Internet Explorer"). I am NOT sure but it COULD help to fix that "Button" problem.

Boggin:
Reply from Shane -

Nothing to do with WR.

Keep in mind my program sets permissions and registers files and things like that. Doesnt install anything or run in the background or change things like that.

Willy2:
- Does Shane have a (vague) clue of what could be causing this odd behaviour ?
- Perhaps registrering more files could be the solution ?

Boggin:
It can only register the system files that are there - it can't create more.
