As was very clearly explained already - you are the only one with the information you need and if you are unable to obtain the information, the tool *is not* what you should be using. *If* someone at Microsoft told *you* to run this tool - you should ask them for assistance on how to use it and what GUID or ProductID you should be entering. If you just found the tool and are trying to use it to fit your situation... perhaps you should look elsewhere. Either way - you should read the suggested material (the web page pointed to) as it cannot get clearer than that on how to find what you need...

The online help does not > really help unless you already undestand how it works. RTFM. I just took a look at it and it's clear at least to me how to use it and what it'll do. You don't get many useful responses wth the kind of post you posted and without at least having read the docs, and done some work with a search engine. How to find the guid: RTFM that came with it, or from the provider's site. Go from there. > > Peaple ask questions because they don't underrstand and are > trying to get to a point of understanding...and I would > have to agree that being told that if i don't understand I > should not be attempting to run his command even though > Microsoft recommend it....is a bit rich...I am sure we have > all asked questions on something we do not fully understand > before...that is how we learn... > > Can we please get this thread back on track to addrssing > the issue many of us have ... that microsoft recommend > running this commend but does not give much guidance or > explaination....Thanks everyone.... > > "Shenan Stanley" wrote: > >> Big Al wrote: >>> When I run patchregcleanup-x86.exe I get the message "A >>> product code must be specified Press any key to exit" >>> How can I fix? >> >> Is this where you downloaded the file from? >> http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=0a162694-4d9d-4676-8283-1ba674374d71 >> >> It references this web page: >> >> Description of the Patch Registration Cleanup Tool >> http://support.microsoft.com/kb/976220 >> >> Have you read it? >> >> At the very start it states, "Note To see usage >> information for this tool, type PatchRegCleanup /? at the >> command prompt."
