It would be nice if you could provide screenshots of each error and message showing what you're seeing. That would really help. Although I do use a AD network, mine happens to a domain admin so I do get UAC prompts but have not needed to use runas.

Yes I remember there was a bug in the earlier builds. You have to update manually, this time around. Sorry for the inconvenience.

The Shell extension doesn't depend on anything other than MFC and C++ Runtimes, which you said should already be installed on your system. So dependencies should be fully met. If they aren't, it would help if you could find out which one is not (the Event Log should have something to say) You...

It will. Chances are, though, that you are just missing the Visual C++ 2008 SP1 runtime.

I've not tested it on anything other than Windows Explorer. If you really want to have a context menu, you can extract the Eraser install, and within you'll find a 32-bit (x86) installer. You can run the msi as-is. I'm quite certain you can't have both the 32- and 64-bit versions installed at...

Based on simple arithmetic, a 1TB drive should take around 10 hours to erase over USB 2.0. If you happened to do a Gutmann erase, then that would take 350 hours, i.e. about 2 weeks.

Then your Windows XP system is missing the Windows Root Certificates update. Install that, which should have been done automatically by Windows Update anyway.

Re: Cannot with CL delete directory contents but not directo Yes, The command line in 6.0 does not allow you to run a task, only add a task. You can add multiple targets, but over the command line it is rather clumsy. You can try 6.2 if you want command line support; it is more complete there...

It doesn't matter if it's XP or Vista or Windows 7; the sensitivity to the registry key is in Eraser 6.0.

For 6.0 I'd recommend not including the registry keys since those are very, very version specific. A new 6.0 release may make those keys obsolete and reset to default. I've changed the behaviour in 6.2 to use native registry types instead.

Re: Cannot with CL delete directory contents but not directo Ah: I'm assuming you're referring to the eraser help command? The Eraser 6.0 command line was not meant for public use, but people always like pushing software to the limits, so... I've fixed this in r2792.

Yup, you can pass any parameters to the MSI installer that works for normal packages... I've not added anything fanciful in the MSI packages.

Re: Wipe Free Space and MFT - Remaining drive contents affec I'd really like to do that too -- but NTFS is really a very complicated file system. It took me around 1 week to implement the directory entry cleaning for FAT since the specifications were rather readily available. In the same...

Great! Email seems to be working for me, but I also had some email problems (on my own server) lately so I'm not sure...

Windows Installer seems to demand the weirdest of applications to be closed, it doesn't just affect Eraser, but it also does seem to affect other projects using WiX as well. This should really be a bug filed with the WiX team, but I don't think any of us knows well enough what's going behind...

Re: Cleaning freespace on Seagate external drive crashes at Thanks! VolumeLock wasn't implemented properly; if the volume was not locked, an exception would be thrown (correct) but the deterministic cleanup code did not handle the situation correctly (which was wrong). I've fixed this in r2780.

Have a go and let me know how it goes.

Re: Cleaning freespace on my iPod (pseudo-random) reports er Is the filesystem corrupt on the iPod?

Strange, I'm running build 6.0.10.2731 (see our nightly builds) and I can't reproduce the problem now... can you check if it's solved?

Re: Cleaning freespace on my iPod (pseudo-random) reports er Wait -- how big is this iPod? Which file system is this? If you know the cluster size of the file system, all the better.
