ShowKeyPlus

I'm adding DPI-aware but as it only targets .Net 4.7 and above, I do not want to leave Win 7/8 behind.

Long story short... does Win 7 (and by deduction Win 8) update to .Net 4.7 through Windows update?
That I can move on from .Net 4.0?

Thanx (I just don't have the time,patience,inclination and all that to go through the whole Win7 update process)

Craig, check this out!

.NET Framework 4.7.2 is available on Windows Update, WSUS and MU Catalog | .NET Blog

Thanx Dmitri, I'm trying to get a grip on what the standard Win7/8 .Net version is.

Mine did, but it's a Recommended update, so only if you choose to accept it....




...and no need for 'by deduction', so does W8.1.






That's the joy of having a few VMs available, I just ran them and looked....

Thanx Bree.. besides 4.71 .. what is the base (i.e. apart from the recommended)

For that you need to look at an install of W7 that has not had any updates installed yet. Fortunately I have a Macrium image of such a machine (an OEM Win7 Starter) that I can run as a VM. The base install of .NET Framework included in my un-updated W7 SP1 is v.3.5.

Hmmm.. Thanx Bree

I don't think I'm gonna mess with DPI for now... adding the WinPE fixes has broken Win7 (x86 anyway) so more important things to sort out.

I have an issue at GitHub regarding running ShowKeyPlus in CLI on WinPE...

I just realized showkey no longer works in PE - I assume you realized this....

I tested back a few versions ( 6477 , 6893 , 6919 ) and it use to work in my PE Media, but not now with Win10XPE and windows 10.0.18362 as source...

I missed your PEBeta link, but process monitor show two missing required files...

\windows\system32\ucrtbase_clr0400.dll
\windows\system32\VCRUNTIME140_CLR0400.dll

Yup, needs testing in XPE - lastest beta: Releases · Superfly-Inc/ShowKeyPlus · GitHub

Those missing files seem to be NetFx4 related.

BTW There are a lot of things not working with build 18362.30 -- eg. Store app wont pass certification all of sudden..(?) almost certainly due to certification toolkit not playing nice with latest build - busy updating SDK now...We'll see if that helps... otherwise I'll just go back to developing on 1809.

testing XPE with 18362
SKP v6919 & SKP-WinPE v7045
with the two required files...

Only error I get is when trying to MASK "Original Key"

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.
For example:
<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>
When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Otherwise v6919 saves Windows Key. txt to desktop
and v7045 saves OS Description Key.txt to Program.exe's Program Folder

Like I said it always worked in My Media...
Just had to add the 2 NetFX files for 18632

PS: have Win8 Core OEM Embedded Key
Have Win8.1 Pro x64 / Win10 x86 / Win10 x64
Found them all...

Thanx Mr Bond

The change in saving of key location came about that standard WinPE does not have Win Explorer and couldn't use the SaveAs functionality.
I think I fixed the toggle issue. Please try new Beta v7051 : Releases · Superfly-Inc/ShowKeyPlus · GitHub

Good to hear you found the problem with the missing files.

BTW: Updated SDK fixed my issue with Store certification. Not much backward compatibility there, oh well...

I can now hide behind the mask - x86 and x64...
Thank You..
