Thanks, jpuziano. That's nice of you, and I appreciate it.
I was on the fence about posting it, but just couldn't find anything that I had missed while testing.
Happy Holidays to You and Yours!

Re: Odd GetFileList behavior

Ah. I have a blind spot where CRLF is concerned; I keep treating it as a single entity even when I know it's not. It never occurred to me to look at the behavior from a number-of-delimiters perspective. I was just relieved that I wasn't doing something dumb. :D

Thanks, and Merry Christmas, Marcus!

Odd GetFileList behavior

Happy Holidays, everybody! As my gift to the forum, I have an oddity in GetFileList that I was hoping someone else could verify. To see it: 1. create a new folder anywhere that you and MS have full access to. I created "Test" under %Temp_Dir%. 2. In that folder, create several sequentially-named fil...

RE: Getting Specific System Info?

I need to correct/clarify myself here: I use Powershell, WMI and MS to do a lot of what I need.
See why I don't let stuff go to my head? :oops:

RE: Getting Specific System Info?

Hi, Phil. I think I might actually have something to contribute here for a change. (Don't worry; I won't let it go to my head.:lol: ) I use MS and WMI all the time to generate data from networked machines, do remote install/uninstalls, etc. Here's a link to Scriptomatic, by the "Microsoft Scripting ...

RE: Access Violation in msched.exe at shutdown of Windows 7

With Marcus' help I was able to track down the cause of my crashes: At shutdown, if I canceled the request to force the shutdown, I was brought back to the desktop, but several background/tray apps were no longer running. I made a script change, tried a shutdown, and no error. After a clean boot, I ...

RE: Access Violation in msched.exe at shutdown of Windows 7

Thanks, Marcus. PM on the way. You running 7 x64 for as long as you have with no issues at all is what has me so bumfuzzled (a southern U.S. technical term). I didn't see recent posts about any access violations without a macro at least running or being edited, either. To answer your questions: It i...

Access Violation in msched.exe at shutdown of Windows 7 x64

Hi, folks. This has been driving me bonkers, and I've tried everything that I can think of without success, so I'm putting it to the big brains here. Problem: If I edit ANY already-existing script I get an access violation:"instruction @...the referenced mem could not be read" when I shut down the P...

Nope, McAfee ePolicy. It hasn't happened the last couple times I've pushed an update to the exe, but it still bugs me. Thanks for the reply.

Oh, I wouldn't say that. :-) It's a new one for me. Anybody up your way prone to practical jokes? Gotta go, loud storms blowing through, time to unplug stuff.
Thanks again for your input on this.

OK, it works now, but I don't have a clue as to why. I re-downloaded the library from mjtnet and overwrote the dll. File size and dates on the two files are identical, as is the md5 hash (Irony, anyone?) :P . I can copy the dll anywhere and point the script at it, and it works normally as well. It's...

Thanks for the quick replies Marcus and Bob (even though Bob had me worried about my eyesight momentarily). Thanks, Marcus. I hadn't used the debugger before. A ton of information in there. It did confirm that the dll didn't load, even though I manually copied the dll to the MS dir. Would I need to ...

HashLib errors

Happy, Monday, everybody. I have a problem using Hashlib that is driving me NUTS. I used the code that Marcus posted from this thread: http://www.mjtnet.com/usergroup/viewtopic.php?t=4330 //Get MD5 hash of a file LibFunc>c:\program files\macro scheduler\Hashlib,FileMD5,r1,C:\MD5Test\help-windows.jpg...

Compiled .exe changing to .upx by itself?

Hi, All. Odd occurrence, but it's happened a couple times now. I'm compiling an exe and dropping it in the domain controller's netlogon folder, where it will change extension to upx some time later all by itself. It only changes once, and if I change it back to exe, it will remain that way. The code...
