I have been having trouble with kernelbase.dll lately. It has been causing several of my games to crash. I got a couple copies of kernelbase.dll from other people who don't have the issues I am having, and I am trying to use them to overwrite the defective kernelbase.dll.

However, windows is telling me that I need permission from a "trustedinstaller".

How can I overwrite this file?

I saw that, but there didn't seem to be a helpful solution. I tried changing which profile I was running the program from, but that didn't work...

I think you have to go into properties, then auditing, then a bunch of clicking around BS for like an hour.

If you're talking about games you wrote, no it's not. Your games invoke calls to various functions which eventually can filter down to KernelBase.dll. If you pass it the wrong parameters, your app can crash.

If you're talking about games others wrote, and you're certain they're not just bugs, try booting a portable GNU/Linux disc (live CD) and write the new KernelBase.dll to your disk. Make certain you know what you're doing, or you could ruin everything and start WW3.

Cheers,
Aaron

I don't like the idea of brutal inserting system core library. It's not the same when you put a dll to game's folder.

I'd recommend to reinstall system, because I don't know what you have done to your system during use.

Sudo for Windows

Also, if you're using WinXP (or below), you can get "SYSTEM" access like so:

Win+R: %comspec%
cmd: at time + one minute /interactive cmd.exe
new cmd: do your business. (e.g., copy and such.)

Works from "Guest" btw. Tried on some WinXP computers. Don't know if this still works in SP3.

Cheers,
Aaron

This ignores the fact that on most Unix-like systems (inc. Linux) you can 'replace' files while they are in use, whereas you cannot on Windows (which for this file - based on its name - is probably going to be an issue)

My main point wasn't that you should even be doing this, it's that something's probably wrong with his game, assuming he made it. If it's not, then dealing with this inside of Windows (discounting installers) is probably not the best idea anyway.

I'd first check that it differs from the other copies you have. If it's the same then forget about replacing it.

In fact why not zip the file and post it so other people can check it for you?
