It works but sfc scannow returns corrupted files

Open CandySign opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Hi,

Everything works fine as intended but when running SFC /Scannow it will find corrupted files due to hash mismatch (SHA-256) of Imagingengine.dll I think this is worth mentioning in README.md, is there anyway to exclude the DLL from SFC scan to it returns clean or maybe other fix?

I've also wanted to ask about the other fix for Photo Viewer which is changing the device profile under windows color system default to (Agfa: Swop Standard), I'm curious if doing that will change how colors are being displayed on the screen?

sorry for this question is a bit irrelevant but you might have a quick answer

Of course Windows thinks the file is corrupted because the checksum doesn't match what Windows is expecting. This is due to the patcher making changes to the file. Why not just ignore the error an move on? Or if you allow Windows to repair the file, just know that you will need to run the patcher again to re-patch the file. If you don't, then you will just continue to receive the memory error when using Windows Photo Viewer.

I thought about fixing this issue but I don't think I will. It's good that sfc works as intended, if something goes wrong with the patch you can just rollback to the original and reapply the patch if you feel like it.

I think it could be avoided in some way but I don't want this project to mess with system files more than necessary or complicating the instructions, it would lead to confusion and more antivirus softwares blocking it
