Samapico Posted March 8, 2008 Report Posted March 8, 2008 I read that Vista didn't allow renaming .dll's... could it also not allow to rename .exe files? Quote
rootbear75 Posted March 8, 2008 Author Report Posted March 8, 2008 i !@#$%^&*ing hate vista well, it updated....had a file called DCMEbackup.exe... that file is now DCME w/o me changing it Quote
Samapico Posted March 8, 2008 Report Posted March 8, 2008 Not really... But yeah, it was updated correctly. What the update does: DCMEupdate.exe is downloaded. DCMEupdate.exe is a self-extracting archive containing the new DCME.exe.Since DCME is still running, it renames the current DCME.exe to dcmebackup.exe <-- It's that part that didn't workNow that dcme is renamed, it executes the self-extracting archive, which unpacks DCME.exe and starts it.Meanwhile, the old DCME was shut down. The renaming probably didn't work because the exe was running, now that I think about it... on XP and before it works fine though. So what happened after... I'm guessing you double-clicked on DCMEupdate.exe, which unpacked the new DCME.exe and started it. Quote
