Issue scanning fix

Hi all...

I've produced a potential fix for the Issue Scanner where issues are not getting fixed even under an admin account.

But I need people who have to problem to test it. If that's you then reply to this post and I'll forward you the file to test.

:D

MrG

Ok. I'll test it. Send file by e-mail, please. :)

I've easily recreated the issue on my Virtual PC.

I'm test it on two computers with admin and local admin privileges and have no problem with Issue Scanner. ok.gif

Just checking, but did these computers have the issue before you used the latest version?

Tarun..how did you recreate the problem?

Tarun..how did you recreate the problem?

Although I can't speak for Tarun it should be easy enough to envoke by opening RegEdit and removing the permissions on either some known entries that get flagged by the Issues scanner, or by creating some bad entries without full permissions which cause the Issues scanner to detect them.

Can you give me an example of a known entry please? Thanks Andavari. :P Hi

EDIT: nvm, there is an easy way for me to answer my own question. LOL

MrG - Will you send me the file now too?

No, they haven't.

Does this mean the issue where issues (redundant, I know) aren't being deleted? If so I'm having the same problem. WinXP Home, only user and admin.

Well I can't delete 100+ keys and I am an admin.. But Zaphirer is helping me rectify the problem ;)

Thanks for the responses on this issue. :)

I've attached the file for other people to test, as I want to ensure it works in as many cases as possible. Can you post your replies to this including your system specs. And please only use this file if your having problems with the Issue scanner not removing items.

Thanks

MrG

im having problems with about 450 issues re-appearing.

i tried to run the installation and it came up with an error,

"error-lang-1033.dll not fount."

i tried running it on another PC but with the same results.

specs of the two PC's are in my SIG.

---------------

nevermind, i figured it out.

it didnt work Mr G.

all the issues are still reappearing.

it was my laptop that was having the problems.

they're all issues with unused file extensions if thats any help.

Can you PM me a screenshot of the permissions window from one of those keys? Thanks :)

I can reproduce this on my test PC. The beta still does not fix the issue.

Hi all,

I've isolated most of the problems, but want to make sure the fix is as wide ranging as possible. So can somebody/everybody post the exact steps they use to reproduce the problem?

(Please note that only admin accounts should be used. Most issues won't be removed if a non-Admin account is used. This is a feature of the OS not a bug.)

Thanks :)

MrG

I've got the problem right now. I'll test it, if you'd like.
