When I tried to update to version 1.6.0 I keep getting this problem from set up: Unable Excute File Create Process Failed Code 740 How do I correct this problem?
 
timstack:

Running Windows Vista?

If so, rather than just double click on the installation program (spybotsd160.exe) to start it:
  • Right-click on spybotsd160.exe.
  • Choose "Run as administrator" from the context menu.
 
Well I just noticed that there are 2 Spybot Icons on my desktop after 1.6.0. One says "Spybot Search" and the other say's "Spybot160" I was clicking on "Spybot160" and set up would keep coming up. Why did both of these install on my desktop and shoud I leave both there.
 
timstack, so we can safely assume that md usa spybot fan's solution worked? :santa:

Yes, both the installation file (.exe) for Spybot and the icon of Spybot-SD itself will look identical. The Spybot-SD program itself would be: "Spybot - Search & Destroy", while the .exe file to install Spybot on the computer will be named Spybot160.
 
Install error code 740

I just installed Spybot 1.6.0 on a Vsta machine.
I got error "Unable to execute file SDWinsec.exe create process failed code 740.
However, Spybot seems to be working. I did the updates, an initial scan (found 27 tracking cookies) and Immunize.
That all worked.
Can I ignore the error or do I need to do the "Run as Administrator' for Spybotsd160?
Thanks

Hello Frank. The error code '740' seems to have to do with the Administer Rights in Windows Vista. You'll have to right-click the Spybot desktop icon and click "Run as Administer".
