The DPDTrace GUI tool will automatically download the latest data files - WindowsPatchData.zip for 9.2+ scan engines and hf7b.xml for the 9.1 scan engine. If your machine does not have internet connectivity or a proxy is blocking the downloads, you will need to manually download the data files and place them in the DataFiles folder in the extracted DPDTrace folder on the desktop.
- http://xml.shavlik.com/data/WindowsPatchData.zipDownload this .zip file and place it directly in the DataFiles folder - do not extract this file.
- http://xml.shavlik.com/data/hf7b.cab Extract the cab file and place the contained hf7b.xml file in the DataFiles folder.
This hf7b.xml file is only necessary if you are selecting the 9.1.1037 OEM version
12. You will see Command Prompt popups and popups for the Rename HF.Log utility during the scan process. Do not close either these.
13. All popup windows will close and a new popup will occur once the scan is complete. Click OK.
14. The scan diagnostic is complete and all of the trace logs, scan outputs and registry exports have been zipped to this folder: C:\Users\UserName\Desktop\DPDTrace\SendToSupport
a. The zip file will be named HFCLi_YearMonthDay.zip
15. Provide this zip file to support! It will not pass through email filtration, so please attach it directly to your case on the support portal using the Add Attachment button.
If you have any issues attaching this zip to the case, please let the support tech know so they can provide you with more options.
