Help: Windows Installer 2.0 corrupts explorer.exe
When I install InstMsiA.exe (version 2.0.2600.2) the windows installer for
win98, it affects explorer.exe. When I right click a file to examine its properties it copies the entire file into the temp directory displays the properties sheet and then deletes the tempory file. You can only spot it doing this if the file is a few hundred MB, so I can't be sure it's doing this for small files, though if the file is really large (arround a GB) it doesn't do it at all. I've been able to isolate the problem to msisip.dll. Explorer.exe is version 4.72.3110.1. I run with most options turned off and the following reg settings: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\System ] "DisableTaskManager"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explor er] "NoDriveTypeAutoRun"=hex:95,00,00,00 "NoFavoritesMenu"=dword:00000001 "NoRecentDocsMenu"=dword:00000001 "NoRecentDocsHistory"=dword:00000001 "NoStartBanner"=dword:00000001 "NoLogoff"=dword:00000001 "NoSetActiveDesktop"=dword:00000001 "NoFolderOptions"=dword:00000000 "NoActiveDesktop"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\CLASSES\*\shell\openas \command] @="C:\\WINDOWS\\rundll32.exe shell32.dll,OpenAs_RunDLL %1" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\Advanc ed] "Hidden"=dword:00000001 "ShowCompColor"=dword:00000000 "HideFileExt"=dword:00000000 "DontPrettyPath"=dword:00000000 "ShowInfoTip"=dword:00000001 "HideIcons"=dword:00000000 "ShowAttribCol"=dword:00000001 "MapNetDrvBtn"=dword:00000000 "ClassicViewState"=dword:00000000 Any ideas? |
