Quick Fix Engineering (QFE) 304 for the Windows Logo Kit (WLK) is now available on the
WHDC Web site. This QFE fixes a major reason for corrupted log-on Winqual submissions and unnecessary delays and expense in re-running and submitting these submissions. This QFE also addresses several issues in the DTM harness:
•
Log file copy. Log files generated on the client were not being successfully copied to the controller. The situation could have resulted in missing log files during submission rollup or in a failed Winqual submission.
•
UpdateFilters.exe. Windows Logo Kit 1.0.c shipped without a version of the UpdateFilters.exe binary. This QFE adds the appropriate version of the UpdateFilters.exe to the controller.
•
Submission rollup log. Summary log file generated in the submission rollup included results applied from the filter process. The situation may have caused submission results to be out of sync with the Winqual filter process and/or the WLK log review tool.
•
Network Gatherer. During test setup, some LAN devices were mistakenly identified by the gatherer as WLAN devices on Windows XP systems. This action prevented users from running the WLAN logo program on Windows XP since the apparent system configuration did not match the minimum requirements (the required LAN device only shows as a WLAN device).
•
SQLDataReader exception. Concurrent SQLDataReader queries caused an exception when calling DeviceScript.ConnectToDataStore() or DeviceScript.ConnectToNamedDataStore().
Note: Microsoft highly recommends that this QFE be installed on all DTM 1.0.c controllers immediately.
