LIVE (Layer Installation/Virtualization Explorer)
CondorMan
November 27th, 2006
Like Adam Moore's Program Launcher, you run this utility in place of the run command in order to capture multiple programs into a single layer. However, with LIVE you can do much more.
You can browse the internet to download applications & plugins, browse your drive to launch them, and even create/copy/rename/delete any file using the Windows Explorer like interface.
When you are done, you have the option to choose "Clean & Close", which will use the same ruleset that SVS Cleaner uses to organize and optimize the registry and files in your layer.

mscorees.dll could not be loaded
Hi,
I downloaded the software and tried running it.
It gives me the error message "A fatal error occurred. However, mscoress.dll could not be loaded to display the appropriate error message. Please reinstall the .NET Framework."
I am using Win 2003 EE. There is no need to install .net framework.
Let me know how to run this tool.
Regards,

Re: mscorees.dll could not be loaded
It's not meant to run on Windows 2003 EE. Which SVS in general is not meant for at this time. You need to run it on XP which it works great on.

.Net Framework 2.0 is required
Make sure you are running .Net Framework 2.0
Tried running clean...
and the program keeps erroring on the first step of renaming the system drive variable to C:\ in the registry. No matter what app I try running this on, it will sit on that step and then ask me to End Now or Debug.
What version of Windows are you running?
What version and Service Pack of Windows are you using?
Does it fail even if you do not install an application during the layer capture?
Version of Windows running SVS
XP SP2, pretty vanilla, no AV or other things that would hang SVS.
Actually, what it's doing more specifically is that it will sit on the system drive changeover and then a window will come up saying an error had occurred with LIVE and if I want to send Micro$oft a log of error. I say no and it just ends.
LIVE and SVS Cleaner also hurt file system entries when crashing
Worse than that, on my system (german XP SP2 MCE 2005 admittedly) LIVE (11/25/06) tends to crash this way, and on the following reboot, CHKDSK needs to check several NTFS partitions on both of my IDE drives. I cannot say if I lost data yet, but usually there are wrong index entries for "file 9" (often index $SDF and $SII) and one time I ended up having all file security settings reset by CHKDSK on two partitions to a "default" setting that gave me no access to the files any more.
SVS Cleaner (11/16/06) crashes the same way with the same consequences.
A very bad example is Google Earth. It impacted my system heavily in both of two attempts.
First I thought it happens when an install leaves some files open. But maybe it has to do with the RECYCLER folders of other partitions. Possibly LIVE crashes if the install puts some files into the RECYCLERs of other partitions than C:.
By the way: If I comment out the first line of the rule set, LIVE and SVS Cleaner crash on the next line, which is then the first.
.NET 3.0
Do you know if this is compatible with .NET Framework 3.0?
Would you like to reply?
