Dial-a-fix v0.54 beta released
Filed Under General
DAF v0.54 is ready.
* Changed default behavior of Windows Installer checkmarks (2.0 and 3.0): they are now unchecked by default
* Windows Installer 2.0 checkmark will disable all other checkmarks for safety purposes (because you must reboot after installing it)
* Removed a few command-line switches from the XML parser installers; they should run silently on all platforms again
* DAF now stops BITS when doing 'Flush SoftwareDistribution', and the status bar is more descriptive about the process
* DAF now stops BITS, WUAUSERV, and CRYPTSVC when deleting Catroot2 (just in case), and the status bar is more descriptive as well
* Minor dialog adjustments, and the addition of a Paypal donation link to the contact pane
In the next version, I hope to add a new pane which fixes network connectivity issues (thanks for reminding me of that, Fred). I have to give Fred shout-outs because he seems to be the biggest Dial-a-fix fan. :P

Hi,
If you are looking for further fixes to add to Dial-a-fix then I would suggest the various fixes for repairing BITS on Windows XP.
It seems that uninstallations of Norton Antivirus/Internet Security etc will break BITS quite well (as I have found out).
There are various cook-book fixes where are summerised here:
BITS reinstall
The regsvr32 initpki.dll fix seems to be the one that does the trick for most people; however having the whole set of fixes should be helpful for many folks with broken Windows Update due to BITS issues.
Kind Regards
Simon
DAF does fix BITS when SymNRT has been used, but that's a pretty good article, thanks. It has a few extra fixes that I had forgotten about completely.
