Brian,
I tried your suggestion and could not get it to work. I too am stuck on
Nigel's version because I cannot get any other port to run as a service.
I downloaded the zip file from TBB's site, unzipped and copied all files
(except the config files) to 'c:\progra~1\clamav' and rebooted.
Any suggestions? Did you just copy and paste all of the files (except config
files) from the zip file or just certain ones?
Kindest regards,
Jeff

Subject: Re: [clamav-win32] New version 0.94
Matej, I had this same problem in the past. Usually it was because I
had not un-installed PowerTools and then re-installed it after
installing clamav. The second time I had the problem was because I
installed ClamAV in a folder other than c:\program files\clamav, which
is where PowerTools will expect it.
I'm currently running TBB's native version of ClamAV 0.94 for WinNT
Kernel (
http://hideout.ath.cx/clamav/). I simply downloaded the 0.94 zip
file, extracted to my download folder and then placed the programs, but
not the config files, in my clamav folder. Since my config files are
already setup for paths and other options, and 0.94 doesn't have any
new variables, I didn't need the included config files which use a path
of c:\clamav. I did NOT "install" 0.94, but simply updated to the
latest files. So I didn't have to re-install PowerTools and get the
service to start again. If 0.93 installed as you wanted with
PowerTools (I'm assuming the path is c:\progra~1\clamav), then try
re-installing 0.93 and PowerTools, then simply download 0.94 and copy
the program (but not the config files) to your clamav folder replacing
the June dated programs with the September dated programs. After that
restart your Windows computer and all should be OK. Otherwise look at
the config files in your \clamav folder and verify the paths are
correct in the config files. When I emailed Nigel he indicated that
PowerTools must be installed in c:\progra~1\clamav folder or ClamAv
service won't start.
The only other option is to check you registry for ClamAV service. You
do this by opening your computer services and then right clicking on
ClamAV properties. Look at where the service is expecting to find the
clamdservice program. If it is incorrect, make a system restore point,
then edit the registry with regedit and correct the clamav imagepath
in HKLM\system\currentcontrolset\services\clamantivirus so it
identifies where your clamdservice.exe file is located on your
harddrive.
Let me know if this helps. Brian A
IN GOD WE TRUST
