Microsoft Security Essentials Causing Side by Side Errors

If the file is saved in the wrong format MSE will throw an error. Seems to me the last time I did it I hit the save button without changing the default selection. So that would have been ANSI.

Hi, Firstly thanks for your fix. Ive attempted it but now get a slightly different error?

 

Activation context generation failed for "c:\program files\microsoft security client\MSESysprep.dll".Error in manifest or policy file "c:\program files\microsoft security client\MSESysprep.dll" on line 28. Invalid Xml syntax.

 

Line 28 (goimg off notepad++) is just computer code?

 

My file currently has this as the xml style section. for what its worth, the <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> section is currently in its original place on the end of an existing code line. worth bumping it down?

 

many thanks for any help

Ok, one more time. This is a direct copy and paste from a recent build and fix;

 

Start copy below this line;

 

 

<!-- Copyright © Microsoft Corporation -->

version="5.1.0.0"

processorArchitecture="amd64"

name="Microsoft.MSE.MSESysprep"

type="win32"

/>

Microsoft Security Client Sysprep module

<!--Windows 7-->

level="asInvoker"

uiAccess="false"

/>

End copy above this line.

 

By far and away the easiest way to do this is using ResourceHacker. Also note that the file is saved in UTF-8 format.

RecourceHacker is definitely simpler to use -- it only opens up the section that needs to be replaced. I just made the switch, and MSE runs without any problems. I'll have to wait until tomorrow morning, though, when the scan is set to run automatically. Checking the Event Viewer Admin logs and comparing the times of the errors, the auto scan seems to be what's triggering the error.

 

Thanks again. I'll post back tomorrow with an update. So far, so good.
