Bug in KiXtart 4.20 with @HOMESHR

I don't know if any of you noticed this, but I just upgraded our old KiXtart engine from 3.62 to 4.20 and our logon script no longer works on Win9x machines. I have narrowed it to the @HOMESHR command. Here is what we have:
IF @HOMESHR <> ""
USE U: @HOMESHR
ENDIF
This used to work with KiXtart 3.62, but with 4.20 it just dies. However, if you redirect @HOMESHR to a variable and use the variable instead, it works. Ex:
$x = @HOMESHR
IF $x <> ""
USE U: $x
ENDIF
Has anybody seen this on their systems?

No, I have no updated the KiXtart RPC Server service. We were not using that on our Win9x machines.

Ahhh... that clears some things up. Still weird that it worked with KiX 3.62 and not 4.20. Oh well... ![[Roll Eyes]](images/icons/rolleyes.gif) Thanks Guys.

Dear,
The KXRPC releases are compatible. Upgrading to a new release requires in
your situation an upgrade of KXRPC on all servers.
There are no known problems with the @homeshr in this kixtart 4.20
or earlier releases.
Can you run following script and return the output of file %tmp%\kixdebug.txt
to the board
code:
;CLS
IF (instr("-3.0x-3.1x-3.2x-3.3x-","-"+substr(@kix,1,3)+"x-") <> 0)
IF MessageBox("sorry, your kixtart "+@kix+" release is too old."+CHR(13)+CHR(10)+CHR(13)+CHR(10)+" please upgrade.","KiXtart "+@kix+" info",4112,300)

I think I found the problem. By default, I copied over KX16, KX32 and KX95.dll. In the manual, it does point out that if KX95.DLL exists without KXRPC.EXE, it might cause performance problems. This is what I am seeing. When our script gets to the point where it queries the network, it just stalls there and KiXtart quits. It is weird because sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. On affected machines, I have removed KX95.DLL and the script seems to run fine.
I have tried to run the attached script on Win9x machines and I can't seem to redirect the output to a text file. I will have to find time to modify the code to put it into a text file and get back to you guys.

Sealeopard: Definitely too much work!
I will have to check out and plan the install of the KiXtart RPC Service on our 3 DCs if it means that it would solve our problems. It is funny that KiX worked without the service when we were on 3.62 and partially works on 4.20.
