hi. i found this one and worked

this seems an easier/simpler solution and probably better. no need to tweak version numbers. just sync the version on the registry with what's actually installed.

Hi,

My Lenovo laptop is running on Vista Home premium preloaded.

Had a problem with Windows media player after an automatic update. A dll - wmploc.dll was having a different version than expected by WMP. Found a tweak by VG using resource hacker. To do this the permission/ownership to the system32 folder had to be procured from TrustedInstaller to my administrator user logon. I am the only user for this laptop. The tweak worked, and the WMP worked fine. The write permission to the system32 folder was reset as before. The ownership was not able to be restored since the TrustedInstaller user was not found.

After the restart found couple of updates listed in the queue. Installed that and again had a restart. Then when I tried to connect to the internet, it says Dial-up cannot be found. I have 3 dial ups created for 2 mobiles and a WLL modem. None are seen when we look through the Internet options-connections or thru Connect To. And the system is not letting me create a new one. Saying no modems are connected, though it was. I tried System restore to the previous week and it took 4 hours to get restored. Then I found those dial ups, but only till the next restart. Again it went off. Network sharing centre is also blank. Not even settings are shown.

Dont understand how to get it done. Please help me.

Hi,

I want to do the same thing but in command line, i used reshacker in command line to replace RCDATA resources ... but i can't update the version info section.

here is the command line i used:

ResHacker.exe -addoverwrite MyExe.exe, MyExe2.exe, version.rc, "Version info", 1030,

and i got this errors :

Error: Comma missing in - -addoverwrite Installer.exe, Installer2.exe, version.rc, Version info, 1030,
Error: invalid resource definition.

i copied all the version info of the visual studio generated rc fil in the version.rc file.
