wooo brick wall :lol:

Thanks rick, will be using this one!

Updated v1.1

Hey,

I've yet to try it, but the updater is exactly what I've been looking for, so thank you very much.

laze.

Sorry to inform you just_laze that it does not work right...

Everytime WinDefender updates itself the folder name with the updated files changes

Hey,

Nevermind? Is there no way to predict the folder name? Can I edit your *.cmd file with the correct folder name before I run it?

laze.

Yep you can edit the cmd and it will work then...

Do you know any way around this? is there a variable or something I can use?

This is my first cmd file

Hey,

Sorry - I don't.

Actually I'm going to have to ask you where the definitions are stored? As there are no additional folders within the Windows Defender folder.

laze.

There in

%AllUsersProfile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Definition Updates\{XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX}

The X is to represent a number

%AllUsersProfile% = X:\Documents and Settings\All Users

Hey,

I think this is the best idea, suggest your users do a find and replace. There are only two instances of the folder name in your *.cmd file.

laze.

Edited February 12, 200718 yr by just_laze

Or I could just update the cmd file everytime an update comes out...

But I dont think its the same for each uses, I think windows generates the folder name randomly

Hey,

Would it be possible to prompt the user to enter the folder name where their definitions are located, store this as a variable and use it in your batch file.

windows defender/deffoldername$

Something like that?

laze.

Great Idea

Yes - but is it possible? :-)

Maybe you can store it in a text file?

laze.

Hey ricktendo64

Do you know if this will work with your MCE2005 Transformation Pack ?

I will give it a try and let you know.

Thanks

No reason it shouldn't work in a XP with the MCE addon, but this addon is pretty old...the runonceex side of it has been improoved if you look at my spanish Windows Defender addon updater/builder
