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? |

Help, because of someone37’s post here, I just noticed I have the same problem. I did make the mistake of installing Windows Installer v2.0.2600.2. Now it takes forever to view the properties of files over 20 MB’s. I tried downgrading to Windows Installer 1.1 but it did nothing and no files have been changed. Is there any way to uninstall Installer v2.0.2600.2 so I can reinstall v1.1 or is there another solution? -- http://www.WindowsForumz.com/ This article was posted by author's request Articles individually checked for conformance to usenet standards Topic URL: http://www.WindowsForumz.com/Perform...ict234341.html Visit Topic URL to contact author (reg. req'd).

I found the solution here.
[url=http://groups-beta.google.com/group/alt.windows98/browse_thread/thread/983bc349f90e20d8/674e6f31322321a7?q=explorer+file+properties++long+ OR+delay+OR+read+OR+slow+OR+pause+%22windows+98%22 &_done=%2Fgroups%3Fq%3Dexplorer+file+properties++l ong+OR+delay+OR+read+] Installer 2.0 doesn’t corrupt explorer.exe. The MSISIP.DLL v2.0.2600.2 has a bug in it. You must download MSISIP.DLL v2.0.2600.0 such as from here [url=http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;836013] Do NOT double-click to install the install.exe file you download. Instead, right-click to open install.exe with a ZIP utility such as WINZIP.EXE and extract InstMsiW.exe from it. Right-click and open InstMsiW.exe again with WINZIP. Now you can extract MSISIP.DLL v2.0.2600.0. You should be able to simply drop it into the C:\Windows\System folder, replacing the defective file. If your system is not fixed, reboot. You may want to keep the defective file instead of replacing it. I suggest you keep/ZIP both versions. If you cannot replace the MSISIP.DLL file in Explorer, you will need to replace it in MS-DOS mode.
