1.2. Self Extracting (SFX) Archive

Windows XP Support: Microsoft ended support for Windows XP on April 8, 2014. Current versions of the Visual C Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015-2022 only support Windows 7, 8.1, 10, and 11. The last version of the Visual C Redistributable that works on Windows XP shipped in Visual Studio 2019 version 16.7 (file versions starting with 14.27). The Redistributable is available in the my.visualstudio.com Downloads section as Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2019 (version 16.7). Use the Search box to find this version. To download the files, select the platform and language you need, and then choose the Download button.

The documentation at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/configuring-programs-for-windows-xp?view=msvc-170&source=docs says "The toolset supplied in Visual Studio 2019 and later doesn’t include support for creating code for Windows XP. Support for Windows XP development is available by using the Visual Studio 2017 v141_xp toolset. You can install the v141_xp toolset as an individual component option in the Visual Studio Installer."

Install Visual Studio 2010.

Download the 7z2409-src.7z file and extract the contents to the C:\Tmp\7z2409 folder.
Select the C:\Tmp\7z2409\CPP\7zip\Bundles\SFXSetup folder.
Make a copy of the SfxSetup.cpp file and rename it SfxSetup.cpp.org.
See https://sourceforge.net/p/sevenzip/discussion/45797/thread/28884697.
See https://github.com/samyakranjan/LZMA-SDK/releases/tag/1900-SfxSetup.

Make the following changes to the SfxSetup.cpp file to fix exit code always being zero.

  if (hProcess)                                                   if (hProcess)
  {                                                               {
    WaitForSingleObject(hProcess, INFINITE);                        WaitForSingleObject(hProcess, INFINITE);
                                                              >     DWORD exitCode;
                                                              >     GetExitCodeProcess(hProcess, &exitCode);
    ::CloseHandle(hProcess);                                        ::CloseHandle(hProcess);
                                                              >     return exitCode;
  }                                                               }
  return 0;                                                       return 0;

# Quit Command Prompt.

2.3.1. Remote installations

Installations using the Execute action of the Remote.cmd command may fail due to registry redirection and / or file system redirection. Either the Bitvise SSH server or PLINK.EXE is causing the problem.

This is for example the case with Clink. When installed with the Execute action the "AutoRun" value in the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor registry key is not updated. Instead the "AutoRun" value is updated in the HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Command Processor registry key.

Using the Execute action also fails when installing PowerShell 4.0. Also, cannot use the Execute action to update the Bitvise SSH Server, because it stops the SSH connection during the update process.

The only secure way for installations is to use the Schedule action.

2.4. Orphaned Tasks

Sometimes a task is not shown in the task scheduler but is still present and prevents scheduling of a new task. It is orphaned.

Remove orphaned tasks

Solution 1

net use W: \\tbhf-anc-mrm\Windows$ /P:No /U:smru
"W:\Software\Microsoft\SysInternals\\PsExec-2.11.exe" -accepteula -hsi cmd.exe
set "Key=HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Schedule\TaskCache\Tree"
reg delete "%Key%\Remote-Command" /f
reg delete "%Key%\SMRU-Remote-Cmd" /f
exit

Solution 2

set "Command=schtasks /Delete /TN Remote-Command /F"
plink.exe -i "%UserProfile%\id_rsa-auto.ppk" "Administrator@SMRUWS-IT00" !Command!
set "Command=schtasks /Delete /TN SMRU-Remote-Cmd /F"
plink.exe -i "%UserProfile%\id_rsa-auto.ppk" "Administrator@SMRUWS-IT00" !Command!

Solution 3

Remote.cmd /A Run "schtasks /Delete /TN Remote-Command /F" 2> nul
Remote.cmd /A Run "schtasks /Delete /TN SMRU-Remote-Cmd /F" 2> nul

// Remote.cmd /A Run "schtasks /Delete /TN Remote-Command /F" 2> nul
Remote.cmd /A Run "schtasks /Delete /TN SMRU-Remote-Cmd /F" 2> nul

2.5. Remote Commands

2.6. Remote Sites

Note: The PMS server at each clinic can be used to remotely control all the Windows computers at that clinic.
