ChristopheM ChristopheM Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2002-05-13 Posts: 309 Loc: STRASBOURG, France	Today, i have a very big problem. I have updated my login script and copy on all our workstation, kix32 v4.61. On XP, Windows 2000, Windows 2003, Windows 2008 no problem. On NT 4, the program stops immediatly with the message : KIX32.EXE is not a valid Windows NT application !!! In the kix2010.doc, it is said that kix32 is still NT 4 compatible. I know NT 4 is a very old OS (about 30 workstations with NT 4 and 3900 workstations with XP) Ruud, can you do something for me ? _________________________ Christophe

In the kix2010.doc, it is said that kix32 is still NT 4 compatible. I know NT 4 is a very old OS (about 30 workstations with NT 4 and 3900 workstations with XP) Do you see this on one workstation? All workstations? Different users? Permissions? Are you running KiX32.exe locally or across the network? Is there anything showing in the EventLog with regard to this issue? Have you tried to start or run KiX32.EXE from a command-line? Have you tried to start or run KiX32.EXE with - Quote: /f = flush token cache (optionally only if older than date specified) Check /? for more options.. Sorry for the 20 questions, but I think you possibly narrow this down a bit to resolve your own issue. $\:D$ HTH, Kent _________________________ Utilize these resources: UDFs (Full List) KiXtart FAQ & How to's

Allen Allen KiX Supporter Registered: 2003-04-19 Posts: 4557 Loc: USA	I can confirm 4.61 does not work with 98 either. As soon as you start it, the following error appears: "The Path\kix32.exe file expects a newer version of Windows. Upgrade your Windows version." 4.53 and 4.60 appear to at least start.

Allen Allen KiX Supporter Registered: 2003-04-19 Posts: 4557 Loc: USA	Until there is a fix or if it's fixed at all you can work around it to some degree if you start your script with a batch file... Something like Code: @echo off ver \| find "NT" > nul if %ERRORLEVEL% == 0 goto oldkixexe ver \| find "98" > nul if %ERRORLEVEL% == 0 goto oldkixexe ver \| find "95" > nul if %ERRORLEVEL% == 0 goto oldkixexe ::For all other OSs :start kix32.exe scriptname goto exit :oldkixexe kix32_453.exe scriptname :exit

ChristopheM ChristopheM Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2002-05-13 Posts: 309 Loc: STRASBOURG, France	Hi, sorry for the delay but i am just back from holidays !!! to answer to all your questions : 1) yes the problem happens on all NT 4 workstations 2) yes with differents users (users, domain admin and local admin) 3) not a problem of permissions (two tests from the %temp% directory with admin account) 4) in the login script, a test is done to use kix32 locally. if it is not present locally, it is copied from the netlogon directory to a local directory. 5) i have not look at the eventlog. i'll do tomorrow at my office 6) i started kix32 from the commandline. On my reference nt 4 workstation, i have downloaded older and current version (4.53, 4.60 and 4.61) to be sure that the program in the netlogon is not corrupted. no problem with 4.53 and 4.60. problem with 4.61. 7) kix32 -f gave the same error message because it is not a problem of options. it is a problem of OS that doesn't recognize the executable format. i have copied the 4.60 version in the netlogon directory but this is not a good solution because we have annoying bugs with this version. look at the very simple following script : Code: "hello" ? "what a nice day" ? exit 2 with 4.53 and 4.61 version of kix32, no problem. with 4.60 version, the script executes correctly but ends with : ERROR : failed to find/open script [test.kix]! i hope we will have a better solution than downgrade soon.
