[Registry Backup] Need an update for Windows 8.1
« on: September 01, 2013, 10:13:31 am »
I'm running Windows 8.1 Pro x64 RTM.  I get the message below whenever I fire up RB.  Can you add 8.1?  I use the 7/8 VSS and it works fine.

---------------------------
Tweaking.com - Registry Backup
---------------------------
Unable to detect which version of Windows to run the VSS. Please manually select the correct VSS exe to use.
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

Just noticed something else.  Each time I take a backup using VSS I get the following error in my Event Log.  It appears in pairs and looks like one is when the backup starts and the other one when it ends.  This is based on the times of the two events.

Event 513, CAPI2

Cryptographic Services failed while processing the OnIdentity() call in the System Writer Object.

Details:
AddLegacyDriverFiles: Unable to back up image of binary Microsoft Link-Layer Discovery Protocol.

System Error:
Access is denied.

Here's a little info on the error: Event ID 513 — Shadow Copy System Writer Functionality  I checked the stuff listed and all is as it should be.  System Write is also active:

Writer name: 'System Writer'
   Writer Id: {e8132975-6f93-4464-a53e-1050253ae220}
   Writer Instance Id: {b5ea371d-21d4-49d4-bf12-fa83ea49365d}
   State: [1] Stable
   Last error: No error

I've also attached the Log_Vss.txt file

Shane:

Installed 1.6.5 and I no longer get the Windows version message.  Howeve,r I still get Event 513, CAPI2 errors.  My disk imaging program which also uses VSS does not produce this error.

The old version used WMI to pull the Windows version, I changed it to use an API call instead. Thats why it is working now.

As for vss the log shows it is working. SO I am not sure why you are getting that error, unless it needs wmi as well and WMI perhaps isnt working correctly?
