    Thank you so much for your kind words! I am glad that my program worked so well and so easily for you. It makes it worth the the time that was spent developing & testing it... :) :D ;)

    Posted new version in OP! :) :D ;)

    *1.2.2:
    ---Fixed SLIC detection with help from PAYMYRENT and code from MasterDisaster. (hopefully it works correctly now!)
    ---Added custom error handling for any JIT events that may occur (although none ever should)...just in case.
    ---Added code to ensure that the program is run with Administrator privileges. If the program is not run with the required Admin. privileges then the user will be informed and the program will be terminated. (this is to ensure the program runs correctly, even if the manifest is stripped) (thanks to PAYMYRENT for his help here too!)
    ---Added code to ensure only 1 instance of the program may be invoked at any given time to maintain the the integrity of the program.

    Hehe...I am just glad that I can finally release a version of O7A that I am *almost* completely happy with. It has taken a lot of work to get the program to do what I want it to...but it was worth it I think. :D :)

    Oh well, I can live with a minor typo. :p
    It will have no effect on the workings of the program...so it is not a big deal. I have fixed it in the source, so the typo will not be there in the next release. :) :D

    There is a typo in the RestartPC dialog

    The combobox has "No, not at this time" but when select this option and click OK it checks for "No, Not at this time".

    I suppose hotcarl has to do this to make icacls work with everyone access denial with grldr.

    I too have updated with everyone access denial with grldr but i forgot it is possible with full administrative right.


    Hmmmmm, I again need a update.

    OK, fixed the typos. Thanks MasterDisaster for noticing that...and thanks PAYMYRENT for posting that pic. :p I dont even remember why I changed that text in the code...

    Oh well, the issues should be no more. :p :) :D

    Released v1.2.2b... Man, I have never been more happy with a release...then released a "b" version so soon. :p

    The program is better now for it though. Thanks telling me about those little bugs, sometimes with all the code in this program I can lose track of the small things.


    EDIT: ...and don't forget the "MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!" :) :D

    Just had to post a new version of 1.2.2b in the OP because for some reason, the version I uploaded said "v1.2.2c" for some reason...so I fixed it. (I did change the version number and saved it, but never "built" the program...I guess VS must build the program automatically in the "Release" folder when you save the project...or something :p)

    Anyway, v1.2.2b is in the OP. It is the final version of 1.2.2 unless anyone reports any more minor bugs. Sorry for the confusion and the multiple releases. I am done now...that was quite the debacle...oh well, thanks for your patience everyone. :p ;) :) :D


    EDIT: Oh yeah, and Merry Christmas again! Hehe...hopefully that does it for me today...now I can relax and maybe try to break PAYMYRENT's app some (if I can). :p :eek:

    The fact that your program cannot access the loader file that my program has installed has nothing to do with your program not being run as administrator. It is because you are either not taking proper ownership of the loader file, or you are not granting access to it with "icacls" before attempting to modify it... (EDIT: or both :p) ;)
