Win7 (x64?) Sunday morning observations.
Win7 (x64?) Sunday morning observations.
The lv file ---------------- There's a file at the root level called lv (i? L ?) that's an MSI installer log, best that I can tell. I scrolled down until I noticed this... MSI (s) (60:E0) [02:01:26:284]: SOFTWARE RESTRICTION POLICY: C:\Program Files (x86)\Downloaded Installations\{75EE2023-AD89-4C39-B17A- 846DB62FA1D6}\VAIO Quick Web Access.msi is permitted to run at the 'unrestricted' authorization level. Why would I want to allow full control to a web access for an update?!? Couldn't there be a lesser permission to accomplish updates? Sloppy Control Panel "Programs and Features" Uninstall -------------------------------------------------------- I was looking in %user%\App Data\Local and there is a folder "VirtualStore" containing remnants of removed programs all over the place. Is this a Win7 x64 compatibility mechanism? I had deleted a program and reinstalled it and upon re-setting it back up, it found my old settings. This is what caused me to search for where it was stored. Well, "VirtualStore" is the place! PLUS: The folders get odd names. "Thunderbird" (thinking mozilla) actually contained my Eudora email prefs (to what degree, I don't know on quick inspection). Maybe the installer scripts (?) have to get Win7 smart??? Andy |
