Download: Dial-a-fix 2006-06-18 (md5sum: 7c08efb8840b9bb451e84ee8fba58ab7)
(and secedit.exe, if you need the repair permissions tool)

Changelog:

* Rewrote policy scanner *again* to address all limitations... now it is very informative - now uses a ListView and can even spot policies that are using the wrong REG_type (such as REG_SZ when REG_DWORD was expected) - it is also extremely optimized - only needs 1680 queries to find everything it knows
* Removed one dumb policy (not really restrictive): NoRecentDocsHistory
* Updated Help dialog to have minimize/maximimize/resize functions
* Updated all version numbers to reflect "v0.60"
* Removed "Debug mode" checkmark, as it is useless now that Dial-a-fix correctly reports DLL registration errors (thanks to native registration capability)
* Added "Suppress errors" in its place, to hide all error dialog boxes that would normally appear, but the code for this is not yet complete, so it remains disabled for now
* Flush SoftwareDistribution button and GO button now disable the Tools dialog pane and its GO button so that you can't run two conflicting tasks at once

The new policy scanner kicks ass. Note: don't be alarmed - it will tell you a policy is present even if its value means it isn't enabled. There's no point in having a policy there with an erroneous value, or one that has its value set to disabled (which is the same thing as not having the value). Might as well remove them.

    Great news! This release looks great, and the new policy scanner does it for me. The reorganization of the UI has improved the overal look of the application greatly. I'll be working with this version to try and find bugs. ;)
