Black Ice installation problems

Apr 02, 2005 4 Replies

Trying to install the demo version of BlackIce 3.6.



Getting error 'support file blat.exe cannont be found'



Windows XP Pro SP2. No other Firewall (Windows FW turned off).



KAV Personal Pro installed



Any ideas?

Are you sure about the spelling of "blat.exe"? Nothing shows up on ISS.net's web-site.

There's a simple program used to send email with that name. Perhaps the demo is trying to report home or something? Was that demo from a valid source? Wasn't BID 3.6 the one exploited by the Witty worm?

Yes blat.exe. what I should have said in my original post was that When I tried to INSTALL Black Ice, it wouldn't let me saying that access was denied when trying to install blat.exe. Info here

The demo I got was from ISS site??

The demo was not trying to report home. It's a full version of BI that has a time constraint on it that will stop it from being used if it's not purchased.

And yes BI had an exploit that was discovered and the exploit was closed.
