Welcome to the board..

It does appear that this is part of the ACL (Access Control List). That is, the security structure for Windows NT/2K.. Are you setting permissions on a file and/or folder when logging in?

Thanks!

Welcome to the board.

The message Failed to set DACL is created by one of the new capabilities
of kixtart 4.00 release. It is realted to the advapi32.dll file.
A question: did your script run well on previous kixtart version? What was that
version?

Advice: please run your script after adding our debugging code to it.
How:
- add debugging code?
- is debugging possible without user intervention? YES

A way of checking your script is by using our tool kixstrip on our site
http://home.wanadoo.nl/scripting
With the option /debug we add additional kixtart code, which shows

• which line was executed.
  
• what was the time of execution.
  
• what was the error status of previous executed line.
  

An example.

For changing your script with debugging code use
f.e. kixstrip input.kix output.kix /debug
Change line.4 of this new script

code:

---

   IF RedirectOutput("")
   ENDIF

---

code:

---

   IF RedirectOutput("c:\kixdebug.log")
   ENDIF

---

A kixstrip output example of our script os.kix is:

code:

btw: it is only some additional information about how you can debug your script.

btw: with kixstrip ? you get a summary of possible options.
The result will be something like this:

code:

btw: Symbol on our homepage has been linked to related http://kixtart.org topic.

The error itself can be ignored, and the script(s) will run fine.

Of course, I am interested in finding out why this error occurs in your environment, so please share any details you have on the issue (OS version, exact errorstring (including errorcode)), does the error occur on all systems, etc).

Kind regards,

Ruud

In my case, I use the following script to change Office 97 Workgroup Template location to server directory:-

$returncode=existkey("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\8.0\Common\FileNew")
if $returncode=0
addkey("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\8.0\Common\FileNew\SharedTemplates")
writevalue("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\8.0\Common\FileNew\SharedTemplates", "", "\\XXXXXXX\SYS\SHARED\TEMPLATE", "reg_sz")
endif
redirectoutput($logpath)
? "@time @day @month @mdayno, @year."
? "@wksta @userid @fullname"
?

All Users=Domain Users and equals local NT Workstation administrator

The script is running fine with any version of kix32.exe but show the error in event log if using kix32 2001.

The same occurs even using local administrator.

One more thing, even if just enter "kix32 /?" at DOS prompt I still got the error in event log.

James

I didn't see this error this throughout all
the publicly released betas of KiXtart. I
didn't get to test v4.00 as I went straight
from B3 to v4.01.

I don't believe it is anything that I am
doing in my .kix script as I haven't changed
it from the betas to the final release.

Going back to Ruuds response about the
console window... the only thing that I am
doing to the console window is hiding it
until I'm ready to display something using:
$result = SetConsole("hide")

I'm going to try v4.00 and see if I still
get this error and will let you know. I
will also take out the SetConsole("hide")
to see what happens.

Ruud, you still around?

craig

Even a bare "Hello World" script shows the problem.
I debugged the way Ruud described, but this does not show up any additional information (no error messages from debugger).

We have version 4.00 (dated 17/07/01) of advapi32.dll.

Are there any users out there that do NOT get the messages in their event log?

Hoping to hear more about this.

The underlying problem is a compatibility issue that was introduced in Service Pack 4 of Windows NT 4.0. It appears this issue will not be solved in NT, so hope to provide a workaround in a future update of KiXtart.

Regards,

Ruud

I believe it is due to systems that are based on the "NT Kernel." I have a 2000 system at work that I have seen this on.

Thanks!

It appears that I am not having the DACL issue (or anymore), but rather the following:
