A favor to ask of windows 7 users

Mon Nov 07, 2011 4:29 pm

EDIT: I've got enough samples now so thanks for all the replies :)


@echo off
CD /D "%windir%\winsxs"
FOR /R %%A IN (explorer.e?e) DO (CALL echo %%A >> "%UserProfile%\Desktop\1111.txt")

If you have windows 7, could you run this batch file on your machine and post the results, please?

I'd like to get a few results from both 64 bit and 32 bit flavors. Thanks.

It would take you 2,363 continuous hours or 98 days,11 hours, and 35 minutes of gameplay to complete your Steam library.
In this time you could travel to Venus one time.

Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-bit:

C:\Windows\winsxs\amd64_microsoft-windows-explorer_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7601.17514_none_afdaac81905bf900\explorer.exe

This is on a relatively fresh installation of Win7, running in a VirtualBox VM.

Just out of curiosity, what's the purpose of this experiment? To figure out how many different versions of Windows Explorer for Win7 have been released over time?

Edit: Looks like Ari Atari is currently in the lead for the "Cruftiest Win7 Installation" award! :wink:

What's interesting to me is that identical versions (assuming that the 7601.xxxxx isn't further differentiated) have different hex hashes (I'm assuming it's a hash, which is probably wrong).
What we have today is way too much pluribus and not enough unum.

One is the native 64-bit version, and one is the wow64 (a.k.a. 32-bit) version. Looks like you get both if you are running 64-bit Windows. The wow64 one is probably there for compatibility with 32-bit shell extensions or something.

Nobody is due for a re-install due to a larger WinSXS folder.

Yup, the extra versions are only needed if you want to be able to roll back service packs and patches.

It does kind of amaze me that they've already released (at least) 10 different versions of Windows Explorer for Win7 though...

Main reason is to see what the 32 bit flavor looks like as I use 64 bit. Going to see if I can write a script that can automatically restore explorer.exe to the most current and correct version from the winsxs directory (6.1.7601.21669).

Looks like Ari Atari installed Win 7 SP0 then put SP1 on at a later date ;)

Shouldn't the one pointed to by the link in C:\Windows always be the current one?

The link? C:\Windows\explorer.exe should be the current one but not always. Changing start orbs requires patching explorer.exe. Maybe someone restored an out of date backup for example. Or even if C:\Windows\explorer.exe becomes corrupted or missing, then the script will be able to restore it even if no backups were made.

All of the components in the operating system are found in the WinSxS folder – in fact we call this location the component store. Each component has a unique name that includes the version, language, and processor architecture that it was built for. The WinSxS folder is the only location that the component is found on the system, all other instances of the files that you see on the system are “projected” by hard linking from the component store. Let me repeat that last point – there is only one instance (or full data copy) of each version of each file in the OS, and that instance is located in the WinSxS folder.

Microsoft TechNet article that Ryu posted a link to wrote:
All of the components in the operating system are found in the WinSxS folder – in fact we call this location the component store. Each component has a unique name that includes the version, language, and processor architecture that it was built for. The WinSxS folder is the only location that the component is found on the system, all other instances of the files that you see on the system are “projected” by hard linking from the component store. Let me repeat that last point – there is only one instance (or full data copy) of each version of each file in the OS, and that instance is located in the WinSxS folder.


But I've deleted all files named explorer.exe from the disk apart from the one in "c:\windows" in the past (it was an accident). So if "c:\windows\explorer.exe" is a link to a file in winsxs somewhere, what file does it link to?

If Windows hard links work similar to how hard links work in UNIX/Linux, the OS maintains a reference count. So the data sticks around until all links that point to it have been deleted.

I'd be a little leery of arbitrarily replacing the link with a copy. If Windows *expects* it to be a link to something in WinSxS, but it isn't, it is conceivable that this could cause problems with installation of future updates.

Looks like Ari Atari installed Win 7 SP0 then put SP1 on at a later date ;)


Yep exactly. I had to reinstall after windows botched my boot record on my Revo disk. After I reinstalled, it hung around on SP0 for about 2 weeks before I realized it.

...and after re-reading your question, I realized I should also point out that links to the same file don't even need to have similar names. So if you delete everything else that looks like "explorer.exe", in theory there could *still* be a file "blahblahblah.exe" somewhere that is aliased to explorer.exe via a link. (This sort of thing is extremely common in UNIX/Linux, where different tools which perform similar functions may in fact be links to the *same* binary under the hood; the tool alters its behavior based on the command name which was used to invoke it!)
