[Solved] Weird problem with filesize check...

[damian666]

Hi guys,

 

i have a script to change some icons in windows 10, because current icons are fugly

Func SizeCheck()
    FileCopy(@WindowsDir & "\system32\imageres.dll", @ScriptDir & "\check-imageres.dll", 1)
    sleep(2500)
    
    local $size1 = Round(FileGetSize(@ScriptDir & "\check-imageres.dll") / 1048576, 1)
    local $size2 = Number(IniRead(@ScriptDir & "\FileSize.ini", "Sizes", "ImageRes.dll", "0"))

    TrayTip("Icon Changer", "Current size is " & $size1, 0, $TIP_ICONASTERISK)
    sleep(2500)
    TrayTip("Icon Changer", "Patched file size is " & $size2, 0, $TIP_ICONASTERISK)
    sleep(2500)

    ;FileDelete(@ScriptDir & "\check-imageres.dll")

    if $size1 = $size2 Then
        Return True
    Else
        Return False
    EndIf
EndFunc

my problem is that the file reports 57.3mb in the destination, but when i copy it to the workdir, its 54.4mb

 

anyone knows what the hell is up with that?

What are the exact properties for the 2 files when you look at their sizes via Windows Explorer?

here ya go

Do you have a x64 OS?

Your script likely runs in x86 mode so you need to check the C:\Windows\SysWOW64 directory version.

Jos

hmm... that one is indeed 54.4, BUT... i explicitly use @WindowsDir & "\system32\"

 

to get the right one, that should be the right one not?

On my WIn 8.1 x64 both imageres.dll versions are the same size (48.847.872 bytes) and your function seems to work properly.

I will test on my Win10 vm and will reply if I get the same result.

cool UEZ, just remember, that my imageres is patched with icons from 7/8, hence its size difference.

​Well, it all depends how you Run/Compile your script either using the x86 or x64 versions.

i compile it x86, always do

 

but even when ran from scite it does the same...

​Yea, that probably runs AutoIt3.exe, which is the x86 version.

Just play with this statement when you have the full SciTE4AutoIt3 installer:

#AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=y ; and try also n

No problem on my WIn10 x86. File sizes are the same on both locations.

 

The strange thing is on your 2nd screenshot -> file size and size on disk are the same values!

what the hell... xd

 

that did it Jos, using X64 compile made it report the right size.

then my next question is... how the hell will i make it choose the right file if that doesnt work?

 

using x86 compile should default to system32 right? and x64 compile should look in syswow...

 

but now its backwards? O.o

You could say the following:

The C:\Windows\SysWOW64 directory is the C:\Windows\System32 directory for X86 programs.

DllCall("kernel32.dll", "int", "Wow64DisableWow64FsRedirection", "int", 1)

that one line fixes most of my redirection issues

[damian666]

Thanx for the read UEZ, that makes it clearer for me

 

boththose, that single line fixed it all, thak you very much

 

Solved.
