Excellent ...

Further, considering minlogon and EWF are also post installation tweaks, it might be good to add SFiorito's method's to the app. Kind of put them all under the one roof so to say.

I don't see why not. It should be really easy to do. i've sent you a PM. I made a lot of progress tonight. Linked to an xml file generated by my app.

hahah. We're working on it. I'm just trying to figure out how to interpret the resource table in the XPE database. I want to produce something as simple as file=path and size=kb for files, and regkey=key for registry entries.

You need to use the ExtendedProperties table and select on OwnerID = ComponentID of the component you want info on (from the componentobjects table). That will return a result set with rows grouped by resourceid. Using resourcetypeid you can see what type of resource it is (PNP, file, regkey, etc.) from the resourcetypeobjects table. The format field in extendedproperties tells you what value to use (binaryvalue, stringvalue, boolvalue, etc.):

1: binaryvalue
2,5: stringvalue
3: integervalue
4: boolvalue
9: guidvalue

I started working on a similar app a while ago, but once I started working on EWF I didn't have time for it anymore.

Ok we are making progress ... things are coming along nicely, the data files are being generated and once that is done we should be ready to go.

Attached is a couple of extra screenies to show progress is being made. The app can now successfully disable and re-enable Windows File Protection on both XPSP1 and XPSP2, so that is big win for us.

Once the data files are generated the app will be ready for alpha testing ... Yay!!!
