Hi Siegfried...
Regshot-x64-ANSI.exe is version 3.3.0 so use it.
Chkunin-x64-ANSI.exe is the one to use.
These versions have been updated since version 3.0.1.
Thanks for looking at primo.

Hi Midas...
One more try...
I've changed chkunin to use _STAT instead of GetFileAttributesA for files
to see if this stops chkunin locking files.
Download it at http://www.islandnet.com/~bitron/chkunin-x64-ANSI.zip and see if it works.

Bummer... (and worse expletives!)
It looks like you cannot flush folders like C:\Program Files (x86)\…
Oh well... back to the drawing board...
A way around this may be to end chkunin and then edit the .bat and .reg files it created..
That's what I usually do.

Hi Midas... I've looked at Chkunin and can't see why it locks your files... I will be surprised if it works, but I have added a Flushall at the end of the code to see if that helps. Download it at http://www.islandnet.com/~bitron/chkunin-x64-ANSI.zip and see if it helps. And thanks for using Primo. ...

Hi Midas... You must be special, as I can't get chkunin to lock files! I took snapshot one, added a new folder to C:\ProgramData and a new file in that folder, and then copied it to C:\Users\Randy. Interestingly, I found out that C:\Users\All Users IS C:\ProgramData, which I didn't know, as snapshot...

Hi Midas...
I'm glad you figured it out... and I have no idea why Chkunin was locking it.
Was it Chkunin, or HWF that created the locked file?
Chkunin should only create the.BAT and .REG files...

I finally did it... I put the code for my Program Installation Monitor on Sourceforge. So if any of you want to make it better (like for a 4k monitor) go for it. I would appreciate it if you let me know if you modify it at bitron@islandnet.com. You can (hopefully) download it at... https://sourcefor...

I tried to lock a file with CHKUNIN, and it didn't... What I did... 1 - Run regshot Shot1. 2 - Add a folder and file to C: 3 - Run regshot Shot2/Compare. 4 - Run CHKUNIN to see changes and leave it running. 5 - Rename the added file. 6 - delete the added file. 7 - delete the added folder. I did not ...

Hi Midas...
Interesting.... I'll have to look in to that and hopefully see why CHKUNIN locks files.

Hi Midas... Thanks for your email. You said... "Regarding your last release, the only niggle I can come up with is how ChkUnin locks some files/folders after analysis, making Windows throw errors whenever one tries to rename/move them. No biggie but still annoying." Interesting. I have nev...

Jeez, you guys don't want much, do ya! What are you trying to do, make me learn something new? That's quite a suggestion list, kosmo. And yes, Midas had some of the same suggestions. Another user would be happy if Primo produced .CSV files... It looks like some of you use Primo a lot more than I do....

Hey Jayman...
I just joined portable freeware so I could reply to primo comments and saw your post...
If you really want the old version, get it at members.tripod.com/randy_hall/primo_v273.zip
But... it is old... from Feb 2012.
It has not been updated and is only 32-bit.

First off, thanks for all the suggestions and for using Primo. I am surprised to see it in https://www.portablefreeware.com! I guess it is more useful than I thought it would be. It was originally written just for me, so I'm happy other people think it is useful. 1: You must do a lot more installs t...
