    Question SDWinSec.exe (Unable to execute file:

    Hi All,

    Can anyone advise / confirm cure for the following?:

    When installing Spybot-S&D on my laptop I got massage:
    --------------------------------------
    Unable to execute file:
    c:\program files\spybot - search & destroy\SDWinSec.exe

    CreateProcess failed; code 740
    The requested operation requires elevation
    --------------------------------------

    I note from: http://www.safer-networking.org/en/faq/30.html that DWinSec is labeled: (to install the Security Center integration on Vista),

    And it looks as though I can re-attempt to to install this with the command:
    C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\SpybotSD.exe /components="SDWinSec

    Have I got this right and can it be pasted into the "run" window in Vista?

    Is there a reason why SDWinSec did not install?

    Thanks.

    First Read this FAQ on how to un-install Spybot then Right click the Install file and go to Properties => Compatibility => "Run This File As Administrator" and click "Apply" then Re-Install Spybot and your problems should be solved.
    If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
