rustyJunk Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Just letting you know of the following issues: - Windows alerts that the Aslains installer is unsigned and thus potentially malicious. - Bitdefender detects an exploit in unins000.exe. If these are innocuous... I suggest fixing them so that they don't trigger these kinds of alerts. Quote Link to comment
Moderator Quaksen Posted September 8, 2020 Moderator Share Posted September 8, 2020 The Windows "Smart"Screen warning has always been there, and requires signing. It costs money. And not just a small amount, as far as I know. (Not a malware warning at all - just Windows saying "Hey, I don't know this file, do you want to run it anyways?") Show the message you're seeing for whatever reason in Bitdefender, but it's probably a false positive. Something you can get fixed by reporting it to Bitdefender as well. You can also run the file on VirusTotal. 1 Quote Link to comment
rustyJunk Posted September 8, 2020 Author Share Posted September 8, 2020 (edited) Thanks. I ended up deleting the whole Aslains folder. I figured that would be enough since bitdefender would not let me run the uninstaller and I was going to reinstall anyway. Sadly now the installer fails because it wants to move Uninst000.exe to the newly recreated folder and for some reason it get Access Denied (even with Bitdefender completely turned off). When I skip it... it then fails trying to write to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Aslains_WoT_Modpack_Installer_is1. RegSetValueEx failed; code 5 Access is denied. I checked in regedit... and there is no Aslains_WoT_modpack_installer_is1 key there either. No idea why it is failing with access denied. I contacted bitdefender and there are no quarantined files. They say it has to be something being set by the installer as read-only that did not get unset when I deleted the folder instead of using the uninstaller? So... I can't reinstall Alsains. Any suggestions to how to fix this? Or have I lost all ability to use the Aslains modpack? I hope there is a fix. Where does the installer put the files temporarily before moving them to the destination Aslain_Modpack folder? Edited September 8, 2020 by rustyJunk Added a question - possible clue to problem.

Moderator Quaksen Posted September 9, 2020 Moderator Share Posted September 9, 2020 Modpack shouldnt be setting anything as read only. But BitDefender is probably the one denying the access. Try whitelisting or just reboot. Can try pausing BitDefender. Quote Link to comment
Sailorboy Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 (edited) My Avast alerted to Malware also for some reason. I've never had to worry about the mod. First time this has ever happened. I even manually scanned it and it still alerted. Going back to previous version 13. Edited September 9, 2020 by Sailorboy Quote Link to comment
rustyJunk Posted September 9, 2020 Author Share Posted September 9, 2020 Thank you very much. It was not Bitdefender, turned out that a reboot was what that was needed. Weird. I was not too worried about the mod being safe, just the false detects were a little annoying. The reinstall issues were more worrying though. Quote Link to comment
Sailorboy Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 My problem was I downloaded from the torrent. I downloaded from the Direct Link #3 and did not get the anti-virus alerts for malware and it installed fine. Quote Link to comment
