Thanks.

BTW Exceptions are real easy to find, from Configuration>Realtime Protection you just needed to expand “Scan” and there it is 🙂

It seems Avira released new version, and changed the name a bit, to Avira Free Antivirus 2012. I didn’t manage to upgrade existing version to new one, I got the message “An installation on server system of this product is not possible. The setup will be cancelled.“. Did anyone manage to install new version on Server Windows? Any tips?

[IgorHW]

Are you saying Ati 5 series will not work on server or just CCC?

Is it possible to slipstream SP2 into Server 2008 ISO file? Or is there a new Server 2008 ISO file with integrated SP2 on ms website?

I totally forgot to tell you that the same problem with cpu usage appeared in my windows and indeed it stopped as soon as i uninstalled “Windows System Resource Manager”. I think cpu usage was more than 30% on my computer, don’t remember exactly.

[IgorHW]

Ahh, sorry i missed that part of your post, i didn’t have it turned on.
I did like the idea of controlling cpu & memory resources so i installed it. WMI Provider Host is still at 0% and i got a new exe in task manager: “wsrm.exe” with description “Windows System Resource Manager”. Something else must be messing with your windows, i don’t think its Windows System Resource Manager.

I also dont have a hot shot cpu, only E2160 at stock speeds (1.8GHz) in my computer 🙂

Another example is the “Windows System Resource Manager” server role will always use CPU cycles if installed and critically impacts on gaming performance. Proof – Task Manager, “WMI Provider Host” process jumps between 2-10% CPU usage even when sitting on the Desktop and idle.

It always stays at 0% on my server 2008…

Finally an official fix from microsoft, for 32bit and 64bit versions. Visual C++ 2005 redistributable version 8.0.50727.3079.

Info: FIX: An application that uses the Mfc80.dll module or the Mfc80u.dll module crashes after you install a product that updates the module version
Download: http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/KB961894/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=2067

That’s for installer crash problem.

And also other problem is fixed with latest 9.1 drivers.

Thats not true. There is no need for compatibility mode.

From ATIs InstallManagerApp.RPT:

Exception code: C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION
Fault address: 735A54EE 01:000844EE C:WindowsWinSxSamd64_microsoft.vc80.mfc_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.1833_none_8442d417329336b1MFC80U.DLL

After many hours of searching i found out that i should avoid mfc dlls version 8.0.50727.1833 (that was most likely installed by sql server 2008).
Adobe had same problem with their installer and found a solution:

Fix: Installing the attached vcredist_x86.exe will install a new version (8.0.50727.3079) of the Microsoft redistributable DLLs including mfc80u.dll to resolve this issue

http://www.adobe.com/support/products/enterprise/support_knowledge_center_livecycle_ES_server.html
…but it is only for x86 applications and i needed x64. I tried to find vcredist_x64.exe version 8.0.50727.3079 but had no luck with that (downloaded 4 different redistributable packages), it seems that ms is still testing that version and it is not available to everyone. Then i searched some more on internet and found a way to change dll bindings from older to newer versions and also deleted MFC80U.DLL v8.0.50727.1833, after that installer is not crashing anymore (hooray!) but i still cant install driver properly.

From device manager: “Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)”. And i’m so tired (and angry) from all this that i dont know what more i could try…
I restarted my pc like 1000000 times, tried all kind of stuff including removing and changing moemory sticks. Also tried Driver Cleaner and there is no difference.
It seems that it would have been more easier to just install windows from scratch 😥

[IgorHW]

Maybe its because my windows is in notification period?
I downloaded 8.12 final and its the same thing, even my old 8.8 installation does not work, so its definitely not a problem with drivers, only thing i can think of that has changed is that windows entered notification period.

I (stupidly) deleted all ati drivers and software to see if that would help and it didn’t. Now i have generic driver 😀
Manually from device manager it seems like its installed but after restart its not installed and in device manager it says: “Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)”.

This is from event viewer:
“Faulting application InstallManagerApp.exe, version 3.0.704.0, time stamp 0x4934447b, faulting module MFC80U.DLL, version 8.0.50727.1833, time stamp 0x482bb4a2, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x00000000000854ee, process id 0xdf4, application start time 0x01c95b245e3b0ac1.”
Found couple of reports in AMD forums but no solution:
