carl0s Posted May 9, 2006 Author Share Posted May 9, 2006 Still getting Access Denied at del wgatray.exe bugger. oh well it was worth a try I think there are varying versions of this thing. Going to install it one of my computers here and play. I just found out my laptop has a legitimate XP on it. Bugger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamanC Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 There are reports that a second version would be released a few days after the first release......so about now then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 Awesome. I just WGA'd my computer (you wouldn't believe how difficult it was to get the wga notify actually installed on here!) and.. result. I ran the script, and had the same problem as Jake - wgatray.exe couldn't be deleted. I terminated the process manually through taskmgr and as expected it respawned. I then re-ran the script, and it killed it and sucessfully deleted it. I am thinking that, since this has to be a very fast process, the system had cached the script and therefore ran it faster a second time. I'm certain that terminating the process with taskmgr had no effect (since it returned of its own accord.) Alternatively, it might not be so much about how soon after terminating that the delete operation happens, but more about when - e.g. the process could be being monitored every 300msec, and perhaps it's about getting within the time-frame window. So, I'll modify the script so that it creates a separate "dienow.cmd" script, and runs this two or three times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 OK Jake - if you get chance please re-download and try again Also the script now stores your working directory and returns you there afterwards.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 Cool. Looks like windows update lets me re-install the WGA Notify tool. I'll see what happens now. I haven't used the windows update in a long time but in searching for a way to get it to work (wga problems again..) I came across this muBlinder. Just in case anyone wants to use windowsupdate.microsoft.com .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Yeah that works. Nice one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 Yeah that works. Nice one. great stuff. Thanks for your help and patience I've made it friendly now, so it just says "it worked! please reboot.." or "it didn't work, sorry" and hides all the other output, since even when sucessful there would have been various 'ERROR:' messages reported due to trying to delete & terminate three times.

Pete Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Very bad people having discussions about circumnavigating Windows policies that encourage piracy. You're all going to hell! As official Microsoft Partners my only advice to users with this popup is to buy Windows and don't steel it you naughty naughty person. Or use Linux.

Thorin Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 yeah! It's getting pretty frikkin' groovy now - check out my screenshot.. http://www2.css-networks.com/screenshot.png What linux distribution you using? Playing around with Ubuntu/Kubuntu at the moment after being a long time Red Hat/Fedora user. Also, who is culture vulture, and why are they buying a house just down the road from me?

carl0s Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 What linux distribution you using? Playing around with Ubuntu/Kubuntu at the moment after being a long time Red Hat/Fedora user. It's Fedora Core 5 with some modifications to the theme - Gartoon icon theme from the gnome art site, and an awesome x cursor theme from the kde-look site. I had Gentoo on my laptop and followed the beautify-gnome guide on the gentoo wiki site, but my laptop has developed some bad sectors on the disk and I can't be arsed going through all that again.. Everything is working really well. Run my Sage accounts through tsclient on a terminal server. NetSupport Manager the remote control package that I use seems to work reasonably well through WINE. pptp-client works too so I can connect to customers VPNs. Gnome's NetworkManager isn't working for pptp vpn connections though - I have compiled from cvs and it's all there but the connections aren't happening properly. Also, who is culture vulture, and why are they buying a house just down the road from me? That's Mikee the web developer. He's been in Beeston before, then up until recently worked at a web company called Reality Creations in Armley and lived a couple of doors away, now I think he's left that company and that house. Seriously talented chap. Wears funny outfits though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not used core 5, had a few issue with core 4 straight out of the box, nothing major but pissed me off enough for me to try something else out of curiosity. Might give core 5 a go on virtual machine I had Gentoo on my laptop and followed the beautify-gnome guide on the gentoo wiki site, but my laptop has developed some bad sectors on the disk and I can't be arsed going through all that again.. Yeah I know a couple of people that use Gentoo, but I can't be arsed with all the faffing about for an extra 1% increase in speed or something. Everything is working really well.

Gnome's NetworkManager isn't working for pptp vpn connections though - I have compiled from cvs and it's all there but the connections aren't happening properly. NetSupport works as well for me under WINE as it does natively in windows (with occasional dropping the connection or file transfers failing for no reason). That's Mikee the web developer.

carl0s Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 NetSupport works as well for me under WINE as it does natively in windows (with occasional dropping the connection or file transfers failing for no reason). Are you able to get into tools -> configurations? I needed to go in there to set the security key which needs to correspond to that set on my clients. None of the options show up for me so I did it on another machine and imported the config. Great peice of software that is though.. been using it since version 4.5.

carl0s Posted May 11, 2006 Author Share Posted May 11, 2006 How about the EPC? Does that work for you through WINE? I'm having the same problem as I have with the NetSupport configuration screens - no text / fonts being displayed: http://www2.css-networks.com/epc.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've been reading it's quite a common thing since Wine 9.2 or something.. there's talk about compiling from source with freetype and fontforge support.. I'll have a go when I get some time. I installed this one from an RPM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
