I have windows vista with service pack 1 installed on this desktop PC. Until tonight, I have been running an old copy of army builder 3.1c that I've been procrastinating about renewing. That version was working fine. Now I have nothing. My computer is running fine with every other program installed, this is clearly related to an armybuilder failure. Yes, I tried running it in compatibility mode. Tried changing the location the file was in before clicking on it too (as I have multiple hard drives) without any change. Please fix or return my money. I find it very irritating when online companies are willing to sell a defective product, or sell a lack of a product. -Pax |

Okay, been looking around the internet for a solution.
found this: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/...9-2f708b2caad6 After clearing the temp folder, I noticed that each time I run the ab33a_install.exe file I get a warning about malware detected. Apparently my Webroot thinks this version of armybuilder is malicious. Specifically, it says there is a "trojan-dropper.gen" created twice at: c:\users\<my admin name>\appdata\local\temp\is-stt4h\ab33a_install.tmp In also mentions the creation of an "atlas dmt cookie" created 3 times as: c:\users\<my admin name>\appdata\roaming\microsoft\windows\cookies\<m y admin name>@atdmt[1].txt and another 3 times as: c:\users\<my admin name>\appdata\roaming\microsoft\windows\cookies\<m y admin name>@atdmt[2].txt So I disconnected from the internet, disabled all anti-virus stuff, and ab33a_install.exe installs perfectly. Upon re-enabling the anti-virus, none of the above files were found. -Pax PS: Apologies about being frustrated in the last post, was tired and annoyed about the lack of instant gratification with an online purchase. after sleeping, found the above solution.

Thanks for posting, paxmiles! It sounds like the antivirus software you were running is the issue - that's useful data for us if someone else reports a similar problem in the future.

This is likely my issue as well, I have been away on business and not able to read the boards but my new laptop came with webroot as well. I'll give it a go with the webroot turned off and hopefully that will do the trick.
Thanks, Eric |

Webroot was the issue, up and running now with no issues.
Thanks! E |
