Error: 1 is not supported codepage when unzipping snapin pack
-
Hi Sebastian,
The suggested option: Control Panel > Region > Administrative Tab > Copy Settings indeed makes the extraction of the snapin pack work.Especially, setting the option “Copy Settings -> to Welcome screen and system accounts” works for us.
But, as we’re starting to deploy the fog client on a number of existing machines, that would mean that we have to manually do that on all machines. I will see if we can automate that, but can you look if you can build it into the client as you suggested? I’m happy to test.
-
@Jurgen-Goedbloed I will build a DLL for you that sets a defualt code page for testing. But won’t get to that before tonight I suppose.
-
Great, thanks!
-
@Jurgen-Goedbloed Here we go. Wasn’t sure if code page 850 (mostly used in USA) or 437 (more in UK, Ireland, Canada) would be the “better” choice (see wikipedia) so I build two DLLs:
- https://github.com/FOGProject/fog-client/releases/download/0.11.16/Modules_zip_default_codepage_437.dll
- https://github.com/FOGProject/fog-client/releases/download/0.11.16/Modules_zip_default_codepage_850.dll
Stop
FOGService(Windows services.msc), then go toC:\Program Files (x86)\FOG\and renameModules.dll. Now download the ones from above put in place of the original one. Start the service and try running your snapin pack. Please try both DLLs and let me know. -
Thanks. I’ll test and let you know.
-
@Sebastian-Roth We tested the DLLs and both are working fine for us.
My gut feeling says that codepage 850 is better, as it has more readable characters in it.Can you implement this in a new version of the client, so that we can roll out the client via the MSI installer?
-
@Jurgen-Goedbloed Thanks for testing and the information. Sure I will add this simple fix to the official code! Though I can’t promise you we’ll get out a new fog-client release soon.

What’s your time schedule on this? There are a couple of things involved to bring out a new fog-client version and I don’t see us doing it all at in the next weeks. But I can imagine building sort of a pre next release version that you can use and help us testing things before the official release. What do you think?
-
@Sebastian-Roth We would be happy with that.
-
@Jurgen-Goedbloed So what is your time schedule on this? Just asking because I have a lot of work and can’t promise to have this ready on shot notice!
-
@Sebastian-Roth Our plan was to roll out the clients by the end of this week. Thursday or Friday.
-
@Jurgen-Goedbloed While I might be able to get out a test version till then I don’t see that we have enough time to do testing before that. Can you delay the final roll out?
-
@Sebastian-Roth : then don’t rush for me. What I can do for now is install the fog client and then copy the modules.dll that uses codepage 850. I have already created a script that does this. I will use this script to roll out the Fog client to all existing workplaces with psexec.
