Re: Problem with print services for Unix

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Dear Austin,

Thanks for posting back.

Window File Protection prevents programs from replacing critical Windows
system files. WFP protects critical system files that are installed as part
of Windows (for example, files with a .dll, .exe, .ocx, and .sys extension
and some True Type fonts).

WFP uses the file signatures and catalog files that are generated by code
signing to verify if protected system files are the correct Microsoft
versions. Programs must not overwrite these files because they are used by
the operating system and by other programs. Protecting these files prevents
problems with programs and the operating system. By default, Replacement of
protected system files is supported only through the following mechanisms:

Windows Service Pack installation using Update.exe
Hotfix installed using Hotfix.exe or Update.exe
Operating system upgrades using Winnt32.exe
Windows Update

To stop the WFP mechanism for some specific purpose, like replace these two
DLL files, the modification of registry is requested. For more information,
please refer to the following article:

http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/archive/wfp.mspx

How to Disable Windows File Protection in Windows 2000
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/222192/en-us

More information about WFP, please refer to:

Description of the Windows File Protection feature
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/222193/en-us

Moreover, in my test on Windows XP system, if we can insert the correct
version CD in the CD-ROM in advance and delete the system-critical DLLs,
WFP will automatically search on the CD to look up the correct ones and
copy them back.

Please note back up the system before performing the replacment, and If
this issue still persists, I also suggest you open a new post in
Microsoft.public.servicesforunix.general newsgroup.

Have a nice day!

--->Hi Morgan,
--->
--->Im not sure this issue is really about services for unix, but rather a
--->general windows installation issue, hence this group. I think we are
nearly
--->there anyway. What I need to know is how to update the dll files when
the
--->"Windows File Protection" feature will put them back again.

--->Thanks,
