Dear,
The kixcheck tool has been upgraded. Current release 2.00
It handles now also the check-file "kix???.ok" in "%windir" directory. An update was necessary because the iexpress installation packages - kix???registry.exe - kix???update.exe - wkix4??update.exe were updating last month.
Some issues on our TO-DO list are: - use CRC algorithm for verification. - verify for other kixtart binaries files in PATH location. - handle the differences between Win9x and NTx versions. greetings.
(TO_DO)

Dear,
Based on Lonkero reaction we have modify our tool a little bit. It wasn't possible to verify wkix32.exe version. Now we have add an option to it. With the call
- kixcheck.exe
it will verify for the kix32, kx16.dll, kx32.dll & kx95.dll files. it is the default selection. the output will be
code:
KixCheck 2.01 (c) scripting@wanadoo.nl 2002
Found as C:\WINDOWS\KIX32.EXE (08-07-2002 20:41:24 225280 bytes) + C:\WINDOWS\KX16.DLL (27-08-2001 20:17:58 47104 bytes) + C:\WINDOWS\KX32.DLL (29-03-2002 12:38:16 49152 bytes) + C:\WINDOWS\KX95.DLL (19-11-2001 05:00:00 49152 bytes)
path c:\windows;c:\windows\command
KiXtart environment: complete.
- kixcheck.exe wkix32
it will verify for the wkix32, kx16.dll, kx32.dll & kx95.dll files.
code:
KixCheck 2.01 (c) scripting@wanadoo.nl 2002
Found as C:\WINDOWS\WKIX32.EXE (29-05-2002 16:56:14 225280 bytes) + C:\WINDOWS\KX16.DLL (27-08-2001 20:17:58 47104 bytes) + C:\WINDOWS\KX32.DLL (29-03-2002 12:38:16 49152 bytes) + C:\WINDOWS\KX95.DLL (19-11-2001 05:00:00 49152 bytes)
path c:\windows;c:\windows\command
KiXtart environment: complete.
The help information (= kixcheck ?) is
code:
KixCheck 2.01 (c) MCA - scripting@wanadoo.nl - 2001, 2002 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ KixCheck [kix32|wkix32]
For simplicity we introduce also the wkixcheck.exe tool. Only the differences are: default it will search for the wkix32.exe instead of kix32.exe file. The output will be
code:
WkixCheck 2.01 (c) scripting@wanadoo.nl 2002
Found as C:\WINDOWS\WKIX32.EXE (29-05-2002 16:56:14 225280 bytes) + C:\WINDOWS\KX16.DLL (27-08-2001 20:17:58 47104 bytes) + C:\WINDOWS\KX32.DLL (29-03-2002 12:38:16 49152 bytes) + C:\WINDOWS\KX95.DLL (19-11-2001 05:00:00 49152 bytes)
path c:\windows;c:\windows\command KiXtart environment: complete.
code:

The possible calls in your script can be:
- to verify kix32.exe
code:
@echo off %0\..\kixcheck.exe if errorlevel 1 %0\..\kix410update.exe /q kix32.exe %0\..\your_script.kix @echo off
or
code:
@echo off %0\..\kixcheck.exe kix32 if errorlevel 1 %0\..\kix410update.exe /q kix32.exe %0\..\your_script.kix @echo off
or
code:
@echo off %0\..\wkixcheck.exe kix32 if errorlevel 1 %0\..\kix410update.exe /q kix32.exe %0\..\your_script.kix @echo off
- to verify wkix32.exe
code:
@echo off %0\..\wkixcheck.exe if errorlevel 1 %0\..\wkix410update.exe /q kix32.exe %0\..\your_script.kix @echo off
or
code:
@echo off %0\..\wkixcheck.exe wkix32 if errorlevel 1 %0\..\kix410update.exe /q kix32.exe %0\..\your_script.kix @echo off
or
code:
@echo off %0\..\kixcheck.exe wkix32 if errorlevel 1 %0\..\kix410update.exe /q kix32.exe %0\..\your_script.kix @echo off
greetings. btw: the amount of bytes transfer is reducing from 150 KB to 10 KB by using this tool. downloading of 150 KB can't be also a very big problem. A short connection f.e. to verify your mail can transfer much more bytes. this "problem" is only important for dial-up connections.

Dear,
It is very relevant how your PATH looks like. It isn't searching through the complete drive. Please return the output of kixcheck to the board. Can be created with kixcheck >kixcheck.txt. Tool can find even files with system and/or hidden attribute set. First it will look in current directory and secondly it will look in all directories specified by PATH setting.
The tool isn't a script transfer to EXE file, but it is just result of compilation. The file can become a little bit shorter with f.e. PKLITE or other com- pression program for EXE files, but our experience with those is that in some unknown situation the compressed result can hang systems. To prevent this kind of siutations we don't compress our EXE files. greetings.

Dear Lonkero,
It is output for us. It is just to see "is something wrong in our program with the PATH you are using". greetings.

Dear,
Very strange that it contains maligious code. Our system is protecting also with Norton Antivirus with the latest live-update of July 18, 2002. greetings.
