application error
Re: application error
Sometime it sucks to be the "expert" on hand, doesn't it? Been there! LOL!
Re: application error
So after some testing it turns out using CRYPT_VERIFYCONTEXT is actually better. New releases will use this from now on. Good show mate.
PS forgot to mention... it bypasses the messed up guid issue as well.

Re: application error
I'm not sure if that's good news or bad - at least when Autopatcher failed, I knew there WAS a problem!
Out of curiosity, in what way is it better? I mean, other than the whole GUID issue, that is. Is there a performance increase, like the MSN article hinted at?

Re: application error
Well I could put it in a large loop to find out, however technically it should be faster. Now it won't run other functions to retrieve/create keys and creating other objects associated with said key.
I plan to make it even faster by retaining the same pass and using it over and over. Currently the function gets a pass uses it for a file then releases after the hash is done.

Re: application error
Very cool! Can't wait for the next build, even though it means I'll have to devise some other test to see if the GUID problem exists on a system.
Re: application error
well that was the first complaint I have had and its been using the the msapi for several versions now. Even before combining the apps in 6.0
Re: application error
I've encountered it a couple of times before, but always on systems that had other issues (e.g. malware). With those, I just went with the nuclear option (format and re-install). I didn't figure there was any point reporting it here, because it was obviously not an Autopatcher issue.
This was the first time I had the problem on a system where that was the ONLY problem, so I didn't want to go the format/re-install route if I didn't have to. Fortunately, I didn't have to.
