VBCDEdit error

OSR_Community_User · April 13, 2009, 1:56pm

vbcdedit comes up with an error: "Unsupported Debug Identifier: The, ignoring Please report unsupported identifiers to OSR". I edited manually using bcdedit, following is bcdedit entry. Is this a boot entry error or vbcdedidt error?

HI Diane,
What platform did this occur on? Also, could you do a "bcdedit
enum /v" from the command line to dump everything out....

Hi,
MS made a small change in bcdedit that is causing problems with
Vbcdedit. I have it fixed and will be putting a change up on the
website some time in the future. I am in the midst of upgrading all
of OSR's tools, so please be patient...

OK, thanks for letting me know. I won’t worry about this and will download an update when it is available.
