I have attempted to install Winbatch on a 'clean' machine. - WinBatch runs fine I then install WISE (which doesn't even prompt for a reboot) - WinBatch runs fine. I reboot the machine - WinBatch now gets the application error on exit.
I have spoken with WISE support and they seem to indicate it's not their problem, because in only seems to affect WinBatch and I should contact you.
What is your exit processing doing that might cause the problem?
the registry entry made was:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows[AppInit_DLLs]="setuphook.dll"I rebooted and Winbatch started to die again.
I was on the phone with WISE at the time and the guy in their prime support group had no idea what the DLL was for (even though the properties of the file referenced WISE) or why it would cause a problem, but he said there are two solutions: delete the file or blank out the data of the registry value that was modified (it's bad form to simply delete it, apparently). I tried both and both worked. He said that one of their developers noted the problem on his own PC with some other 3rd party app and deleted the DLL and all of his WISE products still work, so their happy giving me that work around for now.
To reproduce the problem on any NT4 or Win2k machine, drop the setuphook.dll in c:\winnt\system32 and update the registry with the value above and reboot. Violla, broken WinBatch! You should probably create a KB article for others who may use WISE products and unwittingly damage their system.
