State of fltmgr

[ofniemag]

I tried installing Diskeeper 2011 in ReactOS VM installation and the installer failed.
I'm mostly interested in the state of fltmgr.dll driver in ReactOS - is it mature enough to be WinXP_SP3's fltmgr replacement?

[ofniemag]

Guess not, since the whole thing is in alpha state. I just got so excited to have a better option, but it'll have to wait. Till then I'm happily using fltMgr from Win2003 SP2 R2.
Here's to quick progress of ReactOS. :cheers:

If you need developer's opinions, I strongly recommend to join https://chat.reactos.org

Thank you. I'll do so. Till then I'm observing the state of nightlies, eagerly.

By the way, please, would you make the ReactOS website more friendly to the UXP browsers (from roytam1): I cannot reach chat.reactos.org upon logging in.
In the left corner it ways "< Logout" while being on https://chat.reactos.org/select_team and other is blank slate.

I think this is more a bug there and not over here. Recently I tried to run my Plex on ROS. After a while I had a few browsers doing nice work and one of them was from roytam1. Compared to the Chrome based ones there were a few interesting font size and drawing issues though.

Perhaps it will work in Serpent 52.9 in the future - or better fltMgr will soon be useful as a replacement.
From what I tested it fails gracefully when I replaced fltMgr.sys, fltMc.dll and fltlib.dll in my XP_SP3 install - none of the filters get loaded.

Hey hi, the state of fltmgr.dll driver in ReactOS may not be mature enough to serve as a replacement for WinXP_SP3 fltmgr.

From what I've seen, the state of fltmgr.dll driver in ReactOS is still a bit shaky. It might not be quite up to par with WinXP_SP3's version yet. Have you considered trying a different version of Diskeeper?

[ofniemag]

I of course could run a DK without filters (2009) but I specifically wanted the one with - also to see how far ReactOS is done in this regard.

I must ask - where is Ged anyway (he used write the fltmgr for ReactOS)?
