Download Sysinternals Suite 2009-07-23

A new version of Sysinternals Suite was released on Thursday. The Sysinternals Suite is a collection of useful tools for managing Windows computers. The software can be used, among other things, for troubleshooting and for collecting information. The various tools were written by Mark Russinovich and Bryce Cogswell. Initially for Sysinternals, but both gentlemen have been working for Microsoft for a while now. Examples of programs included in the package are Process Explorer, Bginfo, contig and disk mon. In total it concerns a collection of no less than 67 tools. Since the last release, four components have been updated and two others are announced:

Product dump v1.1:
This release fixes a bug that prevented Procdump from generating full dumps for the /ma switch.

Autoruns v9.52:
Autoruns v9.52 fixes some minor bugs including one where Ctrl+C didn’t copy the entire entry to the clipboard.

VMmap v2.2:
VMMap v2.2 includes a fix for a bug that prevented VMMap from working on 32-bit Windows XP.

Procmon v2.5:
This significant update to Process Monitor adds a number of enhancements, including new by-extension and by-directory views in the File Summary dialog, a new Network Summary view, quick filtering in all the summary views, additional IOCTL and error result decoding, and a number of bug fixes.

Philemon and Regmon:
End of Life on Sept/1/09
Process Monitor is the replacement for Filemon and Regmon and is much more advanced and scalable than its predecessors. We only aim to make Sysinternals tools work on Windows XP and higher, and because Process Monitor runs on all supported OS’s, we’ve decided that it’s time to retire these venerable utilities that were born in the early days of Sysinternals (then NTinternals) back in 1996. So that you have a chance to say goodbye, we’re announcing now that they will be removed from the site on September 1.
