Thanks! That did the trick! I have only run Burfadel's script in a Win7 environment before. Is there something different in Windows 8 that I have missed?
my exe includes burfs script. You just have to right-click and run it as Administrator, that's it. I have just packed it into an exe, that needs Admin rights.
Hi, i have little "problem", i'm create the x64 ISO image and "WU" include the following hotfix. 2732500 => The version "-v1" is available for download, but the file "Update Changelog.txt" contains the version "-v2". 2729094 => The folder "WU-Satisfasy" contains the version "-v1", but the file "Update Changelog.txt" contains the version "-v2". 2647753 => Not available for download, but the file "Update Changelog.txt" contains the version "-v3". 2621146 => Deleted the day 30/07/2012 2706045 => Not available for download. Not on the file "Update Changelog.txt" (IE8?) Thx!
ah ok! Just curious: - does it occur if the script is on the system drive? - was the non-system other drive created on another OS or install?
The script runs fine if it's run on the OS drive, and the drive I would like to run it from was created with Windows 7. I keep the hotfixes and your script in a folder together, and never had a problem under Windows 7. This is the first time I've tried this when using Windows 8.
I think I know what the issue is . With the registry setting 'EnableLUA' enabled, which enables UAC (UAC is always enabled even if the slider is set to the lowest setting in the control panel), I and a couple of others have noticed that using or manipulating files on other drives created under Windows 7, regardless of the security permissions, doesn't work like it should (such as trying to edit script files!). I'm guessing that it may be this very fault that you are experiencing, but why it occurs I'm not sure. It could also be another related issue. I would has it to guess that if you had created/formatted the drive in Windows 8, then run the script off it, it would run fine. Of course, disabling 'EnableLUA' means that you cannot use Windows Apps.
Hi Burf, I tried the reg setting and turned UAC off, but its still doing the same after the reboot. It's funny, as the .EXE that McRip gave me works fine, just not your original .CMD file... I just added the location to the exclude list of Windows Defender... Still nothing...
hmmm, that's weird. What happens when you just run the script with EnableLUA disabled (and not clicking 'run as administrator')? Also, try changing the extension from .cmd to .bat and see if that changes anything. It shouldn't, but wouldn't be surprised if it did! If not I can pack it in an exe from now on. I was thinking of doing that with the uninstaller script, but there was little point if it's unnecessary. Basically it's just a self-extracting archive file that runs the script after extraction. The reason why the exe may work and the script not is because Windows probably treats the exe differently when running as administrator? and the script actually runs through the temp folder.
OK, the scripts (all versions that you sent to me) run if I don't run as admin. Changing to .bat makes no difference.
