I had the same problem trying to install the same version. As I really wanted to install and use SpeedFan I fired my best debugger (OllyDbg) to find what's wrong. It is related to the function 'isadmin' in the DLL 'sfextra.dll'. This function calls another one which try to retrieve security tokens by calling the 'GetTokenInformation' API. Alas, the buffer which is passed to this function is 1024 bytes large which is not enough as reported by the API (on my PC, it seems that it needs something like 1136 bytes). In order to install it, I patched the DLL live (for the installation process). Two patches are needed (the one when calling memory allocation to allocate the buffer) and the one when giving the size of the buffer to the 'GetTokenInformation' API. With this the installation was successfull. I then pacthed the DLL in the installation directory and everything is working fine now. Hopes it will hep you to solve this minor problem. By the way, I did not see at first that you had this site for bug tracking and so I send you this same information directly to your email. Sorry for that. Regards Jerome |
