Restore Point Creator 2.6 Build 8

Included the ability to create a restore point at user login. You can have it create the restore point immediately when a user logs in or after a user set period of time.

Restore Point Creator 2.6 Build 10

Fixed an issue in the Manage System Restore Point Space tool in which clicking on a drive with no shadow storage space allocated to the drive may cause the program to crash.

Restore Point Creator 2.6 Build 11

Minor code clean-ups which includes removal of repeated code which was replaced with a unified function. Added a Manage link to the View Disk Space Usage window even for drives that don’t have Restore Point Space assigned to it, this way if you want to add assigned space you can manage it easier. Changed the starting location of several windows in the program so that they are centered in the parent. This should help people who have multi-monitor setups in which a new program window may appear on a monitor you didn’t expect.

Restore Point Creator 2.9 Build 4

This is an emergency release. Fixed a crash issue in which a 32-bit Integer overload may occur with the progress bar in some rare situations. Thanks goes out to Gad Feldan for reporting this issue. The progress bar has been updated to use a 64-bit Long type instead. Fixed some issues in the getShadowStorageData() function in which conversion of data types to Long types could cause a program crash. A Long.TryParse() has been added to parse these data types and if parsing fails a default value of 0 (zero) is returned. A crash catching function has been removed from the getShadowStorageData(), this was accidentally left over from when I was debugging the function a couple of builds back. Exception handling has been added to the writeToSystemEventLog() function for those rare situations in which it may be needed on systems that have a broken Event Log.

Restore Point Creator 2.9 Build 6

This is an emergency release. Fixed some more crashes that can occur on systems that have broken System Restore implementations. Unfortunately it appears that I have to implement a rather ugly hack to fix the crash issue. I’m not proud of it by any means. But the hack seems to work and I guess that’s that. Fixed a regression in which the progress bar will cause a crash.

Restore Point Creator 2.9 Build 7

Fixed more issues with the Event Log logging of the program. Apparently Microsoft’s implementation of the Event Log API documentation is completely incorrect/broken.

Restore Point Creator 3.0 Build 2

Includes program version string and crash time in application crash details.
Cleaned up and optimized code in several functions including the application startup code, task scheduler related code, getDriveLabel(), and getDeviceIDFromDriveLetter() functions. Instructed the getNewestSystemRestorePointIDMadeByRestorePointCreator() function to return a 0 value if an exception is raised.
Hopefully if an exception is raised in this function other parts of the program can fix the reason behind the exception when the user attempts to create System Restore Point.
Updated embedded Microsoft.Win32.TaskScheduler DLL file to latest version. Updated the embedded Fody component used to embed and load required DLLs into the primary binary file.
Additional code has been added to the doesAtUserLoginTaskExist() and doesRunTimeTaskExist() functions.
Removed the ugly hack included in version 2.9 Build 6 and included proper code to fix systems with broken System Restore.
Fixed an issue in which the disk space usage bar wasn’t reset back to zero when selecting a drive without assigned space, increased the width of the window by a slight amount, and removed the Please Wait window from the Manage System Restore Storage Space window’s routines.
Added additional information to the “Enable My Computer Right-Click Menu Option” if something goes wrong. Added a small tweak that makes it so that if you download a beta version manually, it automatically sets the Update Channel to beta mode.
More checks for Null Reference Exceptions have been put into the Application Startup code.
Inserted an exception handler into the startup code to handle System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException exceptions, if this crash happens the Task-based No-UAC Launcher is bypassed.
Put checks in to make sure that the program’s registry key was created properly.
Put in code in the Create Restore Point at User Logon to ask if the user want to abandon changes.
Removed the mentioning of the change log when updating to new beta builds.
Put in a Win32Exception handler into the reRunAsAdmin() function to handle a situation in which a user said “No” to a Windows UAC prompt.
Included an Event Log Viewer for the program’s various event log entries that the program makes.
An option has been added to turn off the program’s logging of program loading and exiting to the Windows Event Log.
Fixed several issues in which the starting location of a window wasn’t being set.
Build 2 improves the performance of the Event Log viewer in the program.

Restore Point Creator 3.2 Build 1

This new version includes tons of new bug fixes and improvements. A lot more system information is being included in the crash data that's sent to me. The new additional information is your operating system, how much RAM you have, your CPU type, and how many cores your CPU has. Fixed reloading of change log data on the change log window. Inserted code to silently handle UnauthorizedAccessException and ManagementException issues in the updateSystemRestorePointsList() function. Placed code in the startup routine to detect if System Restore is enabled on the system. Fixed a bug in which the deletion of updater.exe could cause a rare crash if the file is still in use. Ordinarily this shouldn't happen since the program actively seeks out and kills currently running processes with updater.exe as the parent executable. If this should occur, simply rebooting your computer will fix the issue. This is being treated silently with an entry in the Windows Event Log if this issue occurs. Reported by Andy Stadtlander. Includes some more SHA1 verification. Put code in to silently handle an error in the restoreToSystemRestorePoint() function. Includes more registry checks for event log related things.

Restore Point Creator 3.2 Build 2

This is a minor update. Changed the title text for the "Set Custom Restore Point Name for Scheduled Restore Points" window to "Set Custom Name for Scheduled Restore Points", now it should fit within the size of the window's title bar. Fixed a tiny bug in the "Set Custom Name for Scheduled Restore Points" window in which pressing the Enter key on the keyboard when in the textbox didn't do anything, it should have triggered a click of the OK button.
