Download Sysinternals Suite 2009-09-17

A new version of the Sysinternals Suite was released on Thursday. This package is a collection of useful tools that can be used to manage systems and obtain extensive information about the computer. The package can also be used for troubleshooting and diagnosis. Sysinternals Suite was written by Mark Russinovich and Bryce Cogswell, initially for Sysinternals and now for Microsoft. Some examples are Process Explorer, Bginfo, contig and disk mon. In total it concerns a collection of no less than 65 different tools. Since the previous release, the following components have been updated:

Process Monitor v2.7:
This update to Process Monitor, a system monitoring utility, adds a new option to the process tree dialog that direct it to show just the timeline for displayed events, uses kernel-based thread profiling on Vista and higher for better performance, and includes a number or minor fixes and enhancements.

ProcDump v1.5:
ProcDump now includes a new switch that enables the creation of a process dump upon process termination, which can help with troubleshooting unexpected process termination. It also fixes a bug where the -ma switch wouldn’t generate a full dump when combined with -r , the Windows 7-specific process reflection switch.

Product dump v1.4:
This fixes a bug introduced in v1.3 that broke compatibility with Windows XP and Windows Server 2003.

VMmap v2.3:
VMMap, a process virtual and physical memory analysis tool has an improved cop-to-clipbard functionality and a fix for a bug that could in some cases result in inaccurate difference-view reporting.

Autoruns v9.54:
This update includes several bug fixes, the introduction of additional 32-bit autostart locations for 64-bit Windows, some user interface improvements, and brings back compatibility with .ARN files created by older versions.
