Problem updating ruleset
« on: Feb 7th, 2006, 9:52am »		 Quote Quote  Modify Modify
Hi,
 
I have a problem when attempting to install the latest updated rulset.  All goes as normal with the download until the end, when I receive this error message:
 
Unable to move C:\Program Files\TrojanHunter 4.2\Tools\LiveUpdate\Temp\Rulesets.ini to C:\Program Files\ TrojanHunter 4.2\Rulesets.ini (Cannot create a file when that file already exists). Unable to install.
 
Any ideas as to how I can fix this, please?  
 
TIA

I cannot help but I can confirm that I have had exactly the same problem today so obviuosly it is down to the latest Ruleset release.
 
I hope it can rectified soon and that TH Gaurd is still funtioning as it should be using the previuos update.

Please check if the file Rulesets.ini in your TrojanHunter folder is read-only (right-click the file, select Properties). If it is, remove the read-only attribute and that should solve the problem.

Thanks, Magnus, that did the trick for me.  
 
Should the Rulesets.ini file be left with the read-only attribute left unchecked, or returned to it's previous (read only) state?

The file should not be read-only.

successfully updated
using the fix posted by  
Magnus.
checked the read only attributes in the file in "properties "
and it had been changed to read only.
removed the check and got the update done.
thanks,

Thanks, Magnus.
Can you tell me what, if anything, might have set the file to read-only?
 
I presume something caused it to be set this way(read-only), so would be interested to know what.

and what's funny is that my oldest install of TH is the one that had the issue this morning.
 
the new one i just bought for the new laptop had no issue with it ,
i just ran the update on it and all is well there.

Unchecking "Read-only" worked for me.  However, I am also wondering how it became "Read-only."

Unchecking resolved the problem for me, but why did it happen and what was the cause?

see this thread
 
http://forum.misec.net/?board=RulesetUpdates;action=display;num=11383873 86;start=7#7
 
my "rulesets.ini" file is still NOT "read only", so it was not changed with "yesterday's" update..  
 
claire, i don't know why you are missing the rulesets.ini file.. i think a simple solution would be to reinstall TH.. if you do that, be sure to close THGuard before running the uninstall, and reboot after running the uninstall to complete the uninstall.. then delete any leftover TH files in c/program files..
