d7II Revision History

d7x is now available; released as an update for all d7II subscribers as part of their current subscription.  Read the history at the bottom of the d7x Release Information (and see what we’re doing now!)  The d7x Release Notes can also be found in the d7x Manual.

This page documents the revision notes of d7II only; you can also find the original (and extensive) d7 Revision History here.

v3.6.87 – 10/24/2017

• Version Increment Only (no code change) – released along with the d7x FastTrack update, this version allows for d7II usage as a backup/fail-safe without update prompts and without honoring automatic updates via d7II config settings.

v3.6.86 – 3/1/2016

• Maintenance Release (no code change) – the previous release fixes an issue with the compatibility section of the d7II application manifest, which can allow Windows to alter d7II.exe operation. Along with the fix, compatibility information was added to the manifest for Windows 10, but unfortunately due to some rather strange decisions during the version numbering scheme changes for Windows 10 internal builds and in the way it reports itself to applications, d7II internal code began to interpret Windows 10 as Windows Vista (instead of Windows 8.1 as previously.) In short, this release resolves an issue with custom apps not running as expected when configured for OS restrictions beyond Vista.

v3.6.85 – 1/26/2016

• Maintenance Release (no code change) – fixed an incorrect case in the application manifest rendering some intended sections invalid, and applied download settings changes for some 3rd party applications (mostly Sysinternals utilities) to fix issues with recent changes from those software vendors.

v3.6.84 – 7/13/2015

• Maintenance Release (no code change) – applied SxS information to the executable manifest for d7II.exe dependencies (.DLL/.OCX files,) bypassing any system registered copy (and any mismatch version issues which may have occurred recently,) but taking advantage of SxS features only available since XP SP2, and requiring the chilkat dll and codejock 16.4 ocx file remain present in the d7II dir. d7II v3.6.4 must be used for pre-XP+SP2 systems.

v3.6.4 – 6/26/2015  FINAL CODE UPDATE

• Previous version may delete itself on End Session regardless of configuration – fixed!
• Previous version may display a download error when opening – fixed!

v3.6.1 – 6/26/2015

• Changes to d7II dependency typelib detection/download/regsvr32 code to resolve a potential issue
• d7II Internal Function to update all 3rd party apps at once (replacing the Ketarin default apps functionality) now only updates items you have configured in your profiles, not all custom apps that exist (this should alleviate an issue causing d7II to download the same app multiple times if it has different attributes from different download locations in different app configs.)

v3.6.0 – 6/9/2015

• Added ability to download all custom apps used by d7II on the Check for Updates screen, replacing Ketarin ‘DefaultApps_db’ functionality and the need to keep that updated separately from our default custom apps configs.
• For above, implemented new download code to only download files when a local copy doesn’t match the file on the remote server.
• Also for above (and in prep for other new stuff) the custom app downloads should no longer delete the original downloaded file (if it was an archive to extract) in order for file comparisons. Instead the file to be downloaded (if it already exists) will be copied to a temp location until the download either succeeds or fails, and will restore upon failure or be deleted finally upon success.
• App/Function icons! Enable/Disable d7II Function or Custom App icons in Config > Personalize

v3.5.58 – 3/13/2015 (Another Friday… why do I do this?)

• Fixed Default and Custom work report descriptions not showing up for d7II Internal Functions in Work Report.html – http://foolishtech.com/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=2181
• Fixed system detail click on system info tab not copying the correct system model number to clipboard when opening mfgr’s support website to search for the model number.
• Fixed Auto-Generate ticket number on start session prompt to save setting to disable itself – was not saving the setting after enabling, then disabling again.
• Corrected Fab’s Autobackup language in the UI to not specify versions 4 or 5 when anything 4+ works.

v3.5.56 – 2/25/2015

• Resolved an issue recognizing the most current dFunk version from the update file.
• Fixed an issue with updating Custom Apps profiles properly – please re-download the default apps after the update via the Check Updates screen, even if it reports no update for them just check the box anyway.
• The update/fix above is important to get new Hitman Pro (and manual version) custom apps profiles that utilize the main download URL for the time being until (IF) the former branded one can be updated. These updated URLs link to a slightly newer version of HMP that cleans PUPs by default, whereas the other version did not. http://www.foolishtech.com/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=2129
• Resolved an important issue for the dUninstaller function of editing file/reg definitions for brute force deletion, where data loss occurred when saving definition modifications via the UI. This issue also affects stand-alone editions of dUninstaller. http://foolishtech.com/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=2193

v3.5.55 – 2/18/2015

• Fixed a function designed to retrieve the PID from running processes, which is used in several functions.
• Attempted fix: d7II not removing its Windows RunOnce registry setting at End Session which enables it to restart after a reboot.
• Fixed d7II Safe Mode not deleting the d7II temp directory during End Session.
• Fixed d7II not starting when in Malware Auto Mode after a reboot.

v3.5.49 – 2/16/2015

• Fixed an issue causing the last build of d7II to hang while starting if you had a blank CustomTools.cfg or CustomScripts.cfg in the ConfigSortOrder directory.
• Fixed RegSvr32 All System Files function to properly detect the SysWOW64 directory on 64bit systems.

v3.5.40 – 2/14/2015 “Saturday 14th Edition: Doh!”

• Fixed issue with last release and a missing constant after some code revisions, which caused arrays to not get populated properly with file system objects in most of d7II’s operations causing multiple issues, e.g. http://www.foolishtech.com/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=2156
• Fixed issue with the Session Start prompt. http://www.foolishtech.com/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=2157

v3.5.39 – 2/13/2015 “Friday 13th Edition”

• Began a restructure based on some ideas to develop more functional integrations with RepairShopr
• Updated KillEmAll (internal to d7II, not the external version which will remain unchanged.) Re-wrote core functions – can now detect process properties for processes running under the local system account; also made speed improvements for whitelist loading, array sorting, and comparisons, and began a user interface refresh. It also now runs silently in-between custom apps when enabled in Auto Mode on the Malware tab.
• Revised code in a number of core functions involving working with file system objects, especially with speed and accuracy in routines involving file existence checks and deletions, making the routines smarter and removing a lot of redundancy.
• Replaced some WMI code with faster API methods, namely in process detection related functions.
• Updated how ‘frmBlocker’ (displayed when using the Lock Screen function from the Main menu) displays statusbar updates, returning some control to an outside subroutine which should always filter out the Foolish IT/dMZ notifications from the text displayed.
• Statusbar update message updates now refresh the form being displayed (the user interface, be it the main window, a splash screen, whatever) and will break ‘not responding’ messages and restore responsiveness to the form, even if only temporarily.
• Re-wrote a lot of main and safe mode form code merging similar code into modules – giving a more consistent experience between the two modes.
• Re-wrote the technician email loading code for the various locations where sending an email is an option, also merging the code for a consistent experience.
• Fixed issues with d7II loading the main form and safe mode form simultaneously.
• Fixed multiple issues with 424 object errors in d7II Safe Mode during many operations.
• Made some code changes related to d7II installing itself as a system service for various reasons.
• Made some code changes related to certain d7II file deletion operations, removing some redundancy.
• Multiple improvements and fixes to basic Custom Apps code functionality, and preparation for some major functional additions.
• New methodology for retrieving log files from custom apps, essentially forming a queue which is re-checked at certain times, ensuring certain circumstances (like unexpected reboots) will not prevent d7II from retrieving the logs.
• Improvements in working with regsvr32.exe on 64bit systems.
• Fixed several issues with properly retrieving and registering a required .dll for TLS enabled email functionality.
• Fixed issues with loading/unloading custom configurable menus (e.g. Tools, Scripts, Search)
• Fixed issues with selected tab control going blank after resizing a form.
• Fixed a recent issue in which d7II was incorrectly determining the user profile directory of the current user for variable replacement in custom apps strings (instead reporting the parent directory.)
• Fixed a TON of minor annoyances.
• Re-wrote a lot of code to merge and store more of the commonly used strings and data into other formats for multiple benefits.
• Re-wrote code detection of current application properties and environment, first speeding up the code, and second making it more precise in making decisions when re-launch conditions occur (should d7II.exe spawn multiple instances unexpectedly, especially if combined with unexpected program terminations, this will fix issues caused by a new, ‘confused’ copy of d7II.exe negatively affecting configuration and subsequent operation.)

v3.4.15 – 1/28/2015

• Cut down some extra functions during delete temp files routine to speed up the process.
• Added total space freed to work report after deleting various temp files from d7II internal functions.
• When deleting Cookies and Internet History via d7II internal functions the user account name being operated on is now displayed in the lower statusbar (just like it is for temp and temp internet files.)
• Fixed an issue properly detecting the all users/public desktop folder when d7II is run with system access. This affects functionality such as creating an SFX Mini to creating the Windows 7 God Mode and Windows 8 Applications folders on the desktop.

v3.4.10 – 1/27/2015

• Fixed an error saving newly created custom apps under certain circumstances. http://www.foolishtech.com/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=2095
• Fixed work report text not being logged for d7II internal functions. http://www.foolishtech.com/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=2098

v3.4.9 – 1/26/2015

• All updates this release referring to “MBAM” affect Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Custom Apps profiles (v2, quick, and full) or -ANY- Custom Apps profile you create with “mbam-setup.exe” or “mbam2-setup.exe” in the “Run Installer…” box on the Pre-Execution tab.
• MBAM profiles now adhere to the automatic re-download and work report related Persistent Settings in its custom apps configuration.
• MBAM definition update success determination and resulting actions now occur automatically.
• Removed multiple MBAM prompts before and after launch and replaced with a single option prompt with several options, which can be set to auto-continue after several seconds if ignored, also automatically applying the previously used settings.
• Default populated email addresses End Session tab are now loaded and saved with the Save Settings button.
• Fixed misc issues with certain configuration settings not saving properly.

v3.4.3 – 1/19/2015

• Fixed Merge Definitions function not working with dCloud (only self-hosted FTP) when added to custom boxes as an arrangable item.

v3.4.2 – 12/7/2014

• Password input is no longer masked when entering autologon password for user accounts via the Users menu.

v3.4.1 – 11/13/2014

• Fixed an issue with d7II running MailPV.exe during info report gathering if it already existed in 3rd Party Tools

v3.4.0 – 11/4/2014

• Introducing a new “Safe Mode” for d7II – providing you with a small yet resizable interface to run d7II repairs/functions or custom apps without loading the full d7II interface, which can be problematic and subject to freezing on some heavily damaged Windows installs. Hold the CTRL key while starting d7II to access the Startup Options menu with this option.
• The custom functions/scripts have now been completely removed including the older startup script option – use the newer Startup section in Custom Apps config for this purpose (the %scriptdir% variable can be used to point to the scripts directory.)
• Holding CTRL key while starting d7II now pops up the old F8 Startup Options menu instead of the startup script. Some complication made the previous F8 key method a poor choice for this purpose.
• Added direct download link for the main d7II.exe to the updates screen, if there are automatic update issues in the future.

v3.3.44 – 10/31/2014

• Resolved an issue (hopefully all of them) causing a hang during d7II update for future updates (note fix will not take effect until next update.)
• Removed Nirsoft apps from Reports generation process that no longer accept command line parameters (MailPV, WirelessKeyView) however they will still execute and put the info in the reports IF you have the older versions already downloaded that still honor command line support.
• Added removed Nirsoft apps to Reports box for manual usage.
• Added URL spoofing when downloading some Nirsoft apps that now require it (resolving ‘data not available’ when downloading.)

v3.3.40 – 10/30/2014

• Changed dFunk.exe to run under the local system account, to easily bypass file system/registry permissions.
• Fixed a ‘select a valid Windows directory’ when launching dFunk from the MalwareScan function.

v3.3.7 – 10/28/2014

• Introduced dFunk (MalwareScan v7) as a new d7II internal function!
• Reorganized top menus slightly (Main, FTP) and put dCloud inside FTP menu.
• “Config/Defs Portal” in new dCloud/FTP menu will now open the dCloud Portal by default, or your FTP Config/Defs Portal if you have the FTP server option configured.
• Tweaked internal delete functionality.
• Misc. tweaks to certain string parsing functions.

v3.3.6 – 10/13/2014

• Fixed an issue which could prevent custom app chaining from functioning properly.

v3.3.5 – 10/13/2014

• Auto Mode now scrolls the custom boxes to select the currently running app/function.
• Added “Merge d7II Definitions” function (which combines local and cloud definitions) to d7II Internal Functions list so you can drop that inside a custom box. Search All d7II Functions for ‘merge’ to find it.

v3.3.4 – 10/13/2014

• Added optional support for SSL/TLS and StartTLS encryption in internal email functionality (previously only SSL was supported.) Required dependencies will be downloaded as necessary.
• Fixed Auto Mode on Offline Operations tab not unchecking Custom Apps (therefore it would continually re-run the same app..)
• Fixed MailPV from Nirsoft popping up when performing certain email functions (was used to snatch email addresses on the system for populating TO:/CC: fields, but Nir has removed command line functionality from that app.)
• Fixed Tweaks tab selections not executing in Auto Mode.
• Fixed Tweaks custom box not loading Auto Mode profile selections.
• Fixed Tweaks and Offline custom boxes not accepting drag n’ drop operations from the floating App/Function window.
• Fixed listbox in Config > Custom Apps stealing focus away from various text boxes when you hovered the mouse over it.
• Lower status bar in main d7II window is now underlined if you can click on it to go to an internet link.
• Lower status bar can now rotate between multiple messages, for multiple d7II important alerts, and for adding the next option.
• “Your Apps” on Custom Apps tab of config is now called “User Created Apps” which makes more sense than “Your” or “My”
• Added dMZ News option for lower statusbar messages; this can be excluded from display in Config > Register/Personalize > Personalize. Does not disable special announcements.

v3.2.15 – 10/9/2014

• Updated to add detection of Windows 10
• Added dMZ links menu for Bertie and crew 🙂

v3.2.8 – 10/7/2014

• Fixed (yes, finally!) an issue from v3.2.5 where hovering the mouse over a custom box in the main d7II window would cause that window to gain focus over any other windows open at the time, dropping them to the background.
• Separated Delete Windows Update Temp Dir from the standard Delete Temp Files function into it’s own function.

v3.2.6 – 10/4/2014

• Added new right-click item on custom apps from d7II’s main interface to add a custom app/function to your custom boxes (this also enables the drag n’ drop feature between custom boxes.)
• Added new right-click item on custom apps from d7II’s main interface to remove a custom app/function from your custom boxes.
• d7II now auto-generates a date/time based ticket number instead of using ‘x’ when you are configured to skip the session start prompt.
• Fixed error 5 when running d7II Stress Utility.

v3.2.5 – 10/3/2014

• Added automatic generation of ticket number on start session prompt for those without ticket tracking systems.

v3.2.4 – 9/29/2014

• Added keyword search filters to the d7II Internal Event Viewer.
• Changed terminology of “Login Technician” on the session start prompt to reflect all that it currently does, which is only to set the default Recipient Email address for automated emails. Also changing this setting no longer changes the Reply Email address, which will now stay as configured in Config.
• Fixed items in custom boxes not getting selected/highlighted when you click on them with the right mouse button.
• Misc minor tweaks to existing functionality.

v3.2.1 – 9/28/2014

• Added new ability to chain Custom Apps or d7II Internal Functions to other Custom Apps! The ‘chained’ custom app or function will run upon the parent custom app completion. An app may also run itself multiple times. Also configurable are the max number of apps that can be chained together to prevent looping and redundancy. Apps configured to wait in service mode cannot have chains connected to them.
• New feature to pipe and ENTER key to a custom app when run from CMD.EXE, making it possible for apps like MBRCheck (log only) and VipreRescueScanner to run fully automated. (New default app configs to follow)
• Added functionality to override default custom app settings for new Chained Custom App setting, also for Download after x Days setting, and Prior Alert / Email Alert settings. Moved these settings to new Custom tab in Custom Apps Configuration.
• Moved short description and work report language fields to new Custom tab in Custom Apps configuration – so it is clear that these two items can be saved independently of the rest of the configuration for that app, so it won’t get overwritten on updates.

• Scripts stored in your d7II Scripts directory can now be used as custom apps, perfect for the session start section! .bat/.cmd/.vbs/.reg supported; reg files will be imported automatically. Executable Path syntax: %scriptdir%MyScript.vbs

v1.8.70 – 8/13/2014

• Added dBug to the updates screen.
• Misc code restructuring.

v1.8.63 – 8/13/2014

• Fixed an issue where d7II wasn’t adding itself back to the RunOnce key when configured, so it wasn’t restarting after running a custom app that it was configured to wait on in service mode.

v1.8.51 – 8/13/2014

• Changed most routines to detect running processes and process PIDs when necessary affecting d7II startup, and a variety of internal functions. It appears that the former method of using WMI may have been causing issues with d7II startup and/or other internal functions when WMI was broken in a certain way — and it appears recently another anti-malware tool not yet identified is causing a WMI issue affecting d7II (and other utils, like Autoruns for example.)

v1.8.49 – 8/12/2014
