[mirandam]

hi how?

[ghazan]

aha, finally we've got an error.
so, can you move that Plugins/AVS.dll to another folder, if Miranda is running? I can, for example.
if not, run Process Explorer / System Informer and look for a process which holds this DLL

PS: maybe those DLLs have some parasite attributes like ReadOnly or System?
isn't disk E: write protected?

[mirandam]

Yes, I can move the DLLs when Miranda is running, so what is next?

[ghazan]

what is next?

• how comes that Process Monitor doesn't see any problems with AVS.dll
• do you use pu_stub.exe? i.e. does Miranda requires escalation to perform updates?
• does Process Explorer display any handles for AVS.dll?

[mirandam]

I'm able to move ALL DLLs, not just AVS.dll

1. I did not create Process Monitor.... I don't know
2. I don't know what is pu_stub.exe
3. No

Isn't it weird that one can move the DLLs of a running program?

Isn't it weird that one can move the DLLs of a running program?

Some plugins may be disabled in Options -> Plugins and therefore not be used.

But if you can move ALL the files from /Miranda_dir/Plugins, this is weird, because at least some plugins are definitely used. I can't imagine how this is possible...

you can delete almost all contents of %SystemRoot%, if you have enough access level, that's not a problem

I added even more logs, could you update PU & Core and make another log of Core + PU?

[mirandam]

1. What are you storing in the profile xxx.dat file?
2. If I create a new profile, update can complete without error 32
3. If I use my current profile, update always error 32
