oscradog,

If there is a software that run dangerous script codes, this software shouldn't be installed on a PC. The problem is that M$ has integrated scripts too much in OE, IE and MS-Office. It's somehow possible to disable that but very few poeple will do it because they don't know.

But are your sure that uninstalling WSH is disabling any script use? I thought WSH was only handling scripts in VBS and JS files... I think that in order to disable scripts on your computer you need to unisntal the script engines and script libraries... then most of the website you are visiting would popup errors constantly and maybe some softwares too... I always believed that IE and OE ran scripts no matter WSH is installed or not... but I can be wrong.

I understand that some poeple may be afraid of using VBS file by fear of viruses. That's undeserved: professionals use VBS scripts for managing servers and networks. They are not always viruses.
+Some poeple may still not have WSH 5.6 installed.
+EXE files look more serious and familiar. without EXE files some poeple may just not know what to do and won't spend time reading the readme.
I know that! Allas.

Maybe one day I try to learn to translate VBS into VB and compile exe's. But that won't be soon.

Anyway: I did these scripts for myself and for mental sport. Public recognition is not my goal but i'm happy if what I do can be usefull for one or two persons.

2.9 Christmass Release
Nothing very special for xmass but I thought it would be cool to release it today:
-Fixed more errors in checksystem*.vbs, especialy in filepaths. (again)

Makes no mistake: it still can make mistakes.

Merry xmass!

Installed_Files_Checker 3.0 works great on my Win98 SE PC.

Keep up the good work.

Best wishes.

[Fredledingue]

Thanks MDGx,
At least i see that one person has been testing it.

I'm working actively on the system restore project and a more graphiocal (hta) interface (maybe a progress bar too).
It looks very promising. I'm very exited about that now. I hope to release a pre-beta version in two or three weeks.

[Fredledingue]

Great release this time:


4.0
-Added: HTA graphic interface to display results and a progressbar
-Added: Summary display (also works without the HTA interface)
-Completely new comparison engine (more use of the memory), which means:
* Much faster for large numbers of file change.
* Speed is more consistant, more predictable.
* Smaller and simplier code (the last one became a monster after all the fixes)
* More reliable
-Fixed: Won't restart the batch file anymore (if that ever happened to you)

[MDGx]

Tested Files Checker 4.0 and runs without any errors on my PC.

Keep up the good work.

Best wishes.

Many improvements:

4.1
-Added: HTA interface for the configuration settings
-Fixed: New bug from version 4.0 : New folder content not listed and not compared
-Fixed: Other potential albeit not experienced errors.
-Fixed: Cell on the top of the 1st table empty and not framed.
-Fixed (posssibly fixed in v4.0 already): Some folders are listed twice, in two separate tables, with different results.
-Fixed (posssibly fixed in v4.0 already): Sometimes the directory where the script is installed is mentioned.
-Improved: Dos prompt not apearing anymore. Instead, a progressbar is shown.
-Improved: Better Scan list and Exclude list handling by the program as well as by the user
-Improved: Minor details in the checksystem41 HTA interface
-Removed temporarily: Support for text output

*********IMPORTANT UPDATE NOTE***********

After updating from 4.0 to 4.1, the first scan after the update may contain a lot of false results.
So I recommand running a check with the old version right before updating and start anew with a fesh install.

Very nice....

I got this error message when I executed checksystem41.hta for the second time [first time worked ok]:

 ERROR.GIF (8.05K)
Number of downloads: 3

and the script did not continue.

ProgressBar.log contents:

Quote

y = 14505

HTH

Ironicaly you got this error because there was no error with your file paths!
(The error came because InvalidPathsIndex.txt is empty and it must contain at least one line feed.)

I made a silent update on my site. Please download it again.

[Fredledingue]

New "fix" release.
(of course not extensively tested in such a short term)

4.2
-Fixed: Subfolders of excluded folders still scanned
-Fixed: Error "input past end of file" when InvalidPathsIndex.txt is empty
-Fixed: Other possible errors with ifc_config and checksystem*.vbs

[MDGx]

Tested silent version 4.2 , runs without errors on my PC.

Keep up the good work.

Best wishes.

Two great stuffs in this release:

1/ Now you can add a comment (for example "After installation of uSP3-beta") and see a list of the reports in Reports_Comment_Index.htm.
This is extremely useful!

2/ IFC works on non-updated W98, at least if it includes WSH 5.1. Only the installation verificator upon the "About" button doesn't work but that's not important. However it's much faster with WSH 5.6 installed.
Yet, that's great news because you can track your system changes practicaly since day-one of installation, before all the packs and unofficial updaters.

... and a new webpage! (download here)

4.3
-Optimized: For Windows Script Host 5.1 and possibly below for work on non-updated w98.
ATTENTION: WSH 5.6 still strongly recommanded (faster).
-Added: Personal comment on the reportss
-Added: Indexing in a Html page the repport file names and the comments for easier re-viewing
-Fixed: Configuration interface not lauunching the application
-Improved: Other minor details

Small improvements:

4.4
-Improved: Use of registry for communication among separate scripts (should avoid "file already exists" errors)
-Added: WSH version detection (click "About")
-Fixed: Comment field disapearing after "Closing Help"

Enjoy!
