Symptoms

When you use the Problem Steps Recorder tool (Psr.exe) on a computer that is running a localized version of Windows 7 or of Windows Server 2008 R2, you encounter the following issues:

  • The Problem Steps Recorder tool uses the keyboard shortcuts that are used in the English version of the tool instead of the keyboard shortcuts that is displayed in the localized version of the tool.

    For example, the German version of the tool displays Alt+B as the keyboard shortcut for the Stop Record button. However, the keyboard shortcut for this button is actually Alt+O, which is used in the English version of the tool.

  • You cannot use the Space key to perform a mouse click action. Instead, you can only use the Enter key to perform a mouse click action.

Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 file information notes


Important Windows 7 hotfixes and Windows Server 2008 R2 hotfixes are included in the same packages. However, hotfixes on the Hotfix Request page are listed under both operating systems. To request the hotfix package that applies to one or both operating systems, select the hotfix that is listed under "Windows 7/Windows Server 2008 R2" on the page. Always refer to the "Applies To" section in articles to determine the actual operating system that each hotfix applies to.

  • The files that apply to a specific product, milestone (RTM, SPn), and service branch (LDR, GDR) can be identified by examining the file version numbers as shown in the following table:

    Version

    Product

    Milestone

    Service branch

    6.1.760
    1.17xxx

    Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2

    SP1

    GDR

    6.1.760
    1.21xxx

    Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2

MUM and MANIFEST files, and the associated security catalog (.cat) files, are critical to maintaining the state of the updated component. The security catalog files, for which the attributes are not listed, are signed with a Microsoft digital signature.
