EMCO UnLock IT - file and folder unlocker

[pplknownothin]

http://www.emco.is/products/unlock-it/features.php
A neat utility that helps you to take control of any file or folder when it is locked by some application or system. For every locked resource, you get a list of locking processes and can unlock it by terminating those processes.


System Requirements

* Intel Pentium or equivalent 1000 MHZ processor
* 512MB of RAM (1024MB recommended)
* 150MB of free disk space

Supported Platforms

Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows XP x64, Windows 2003, Windows 2003 x64, Windows Vista, Windows Vista x64

uniextract it and run, does not write to registry as far as i can tell.

*edit: writes settings to appdata*

The app zipped: http://www.mediafire.com/?zygzunz0yyh

The app with a batch that will make it portable: http://www.mediafire.com/?zzdtzjyjebo

The Batch:

Code: Select all

rename "%appdata%/EMCO" EMCO1
cd %~dp0/app
start /wait UnLockIT.exe
rmdir /q /s "%appdata%/EMCO"
rename "%appdata%/EMCO1" EMCO

*edit* sombody had trouble with the exe so i changed it back to a batch

I've extracted it but the application fails with an error.
Vista x64 SP1

[Local]

It does work on XP but it ain't stealth.
The settings are left in the application data directory.
Nothing too important in there but you want to leave the host machine spotless be warned

After an installation it works. I've removed it and it doesn't work anymore.
I've created a batch file to register the dll, but that isn't enough.
I will try to find out what the installer does.

didn't catch the appdata folder... thanks

[Master of Dice]

I cannot get it to run portable.
I've tried to register the dlls but nothing works.
Any hints what else it could be?

i'm not sure why it isn't working for you. I'm using xp and it works fine whenever I tried it. the website says it supports almost every windows since windows 2000 so idk why vista wouldn't work any differently

doesnt work for me either, could you zip your copy and upload it?

[pplknownothin]

uploaded it in a rar for people who might be having troubles. i also added a batch which will:
rename original appdata folder
run the app
delete appdata the program creates on exit
rename the original appdatafolder back to the original name.

this will enable you to run the app portable while keeping settings of a locally installed copy.

should work both in xp and vista.

Tried it; crashed my explorer.exe and antivirus (BitDefender), had to reboot.
Not to detract from it's credibility or usefulness, just posting my experience.
When I get around to reformatting I'll try and remember to re-test it again and find out the cause.

i'm not sure what happened. tested it on a couple pc's and it worked fine. it might be your antivirus detecting it changing folders in appdata and giving it a false positive. you might want to try to move launch.bat.txt to the location of the exe and rename it to launch.bat and running it with the batch.
again sorry about the trouble

thanks, the one you uploaded works, not sure what i did wrong but nice program though I prefer unlocker a bit more for its ease of use
