Zap316 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 On the Download page for Diskkeeper it says the 64 bit patch by shajt works for .963 only that is not true I have just done a fresh install of .966 and the patch works fine. Please fix! Thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knightmare Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 64bit patch was made specificly for .963 it may work but it doesn't have changes made in .966 linkOkay so what does that mean? Yes the new dll files aren't patched but what is the downside? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unknownasphyxiated Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 that is the function of having version numberits called improvement....if you use older version dll, then it is better if you not upgrade at alljust use .963it just a waste of bandwidth to download newer version but you only get what you've already installedno offence :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knightmare Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 So I should switch back to .963? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator DKT27 Posted February 1, 2012 Administrator Share Posted February 1, 2012 Yup. That patch wasn't made for 966 or any other future builds. Sure, it works, but doesn't mean it will work as new version. ;)This, unless Diskeeper hasn't changed any files that the patch contains, in the new version. But I don't think it's possible for anyone other than the fix author to check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knightmare Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Gotcha. Okay. Switching back to build 963. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRiM Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I have installed 966 (Enterprise) on multiple servers and used the x64 patch and noticed no issues at all. Also installed premier on a few desktops but not noticed anything either.So has anybody noticed any issues/side effects when cross patching?

Avitar Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 64bit patch was made specificly for .963 it may work but it doesn't have changes made in .966 link Yup.

But I don't think it's possible for anyone other than the fix author to check. I just reversed the patch and it seems that it patches the .exe file and adds info to the registry. Apparently no .dll files involved to my knowledge. The registration and update sequence in the .exe is the same as the previous version, since it's just a minor update. The changes have occurred in the [non-registration affecting] libraries and entry procedures with a modified piecewise defined algorithm [that still has my head spinning...] Patch works on this build as well.
