Spybot Christmas Presents, Part 3: Distributed Testing
- Thread starter PepiMK
- Start date
Good question. I think it was good to test here first, see the bug we found.
Also, take a look at Distributed Testing (the project tracker page about it): issue 174 (Test only last N days test sets) needs to be addressed I think. And issue 169 (Include duration in log) is implemented on the client side, but not fully used on the server side yet.

Oh, did I add such an error message? :lip:
Guess I hoped it would never appear
:
Might be the server was a bit too buzy thanks to all the 1.5.2 visitors

Out of resources while using only 7 MB... interesting
Thanks, will take a look at where exactly this is happening (from the message, it seems the errors comes when creating the tray icon shown when the console gets minimized)

"Download: sddt-1.0.2.exe
(attention: version updated to 1.0.2 on January 7th)
Once installed, this'll run as a system service (thus only on NT/2000/XP/Vista, though a stand-alone version for 9x/ME is included)"
OK, I have an old W98 and I wanted to test the sddt (V1.0.2) on it.
I found 1 problem and 1 sugestion
Problem: When installing it goes well until "Extracting files...". There it stays for more than an hour, doing nothing, I can work but it never finished. I attached a zip file with the list of files saved under Program Files and a gif of the Setup program, so you can see where it stops
Sugestion: There is a file (bugreport.txt) that I think has too much info of your machine, there are a lot of hackers trying to find out how to :spider: So if it really does not need to be there, take it out!
Thanks

Current version outdated, replaced with 1.6 version
(sorry that I have overlooked your problem, Becky :red: Suggestion appreciated, the other part is an installer problem, not sure what I could do there, need to think a bit about it)

Hi! I'm not sure if this is a bug or an intended change:
Running the Stand-Alone client, with interval of 3600 seconds (1 hour), but I downloaded and tested 4 tests in the space of 2 minutes... is that right? last time i downloaded and tested about.... 15/20.. :sad: me confused! - Chris

Tests are split into single malware product tests.
So even if it checks only once an hour, it may find N different tests when checking, and processes all N tests at once of course.

Ah right, so it'll look for -new- tests every hour, nothing to do with heavier traffic from tests. Misunderstood 
Also, can't seem to get the service to run, using vista. The console's fine, but get (Could not start service!)

clicking stop service. then start service. That worked for me.
if it says started succesfully in the text, its fine and running.

Suggestion: Vista privilege request!
Nope.
"(Could not stop service!)
(Could not start service!)"
Also got an error when I tried to apply settings (even though I didn't change anything!), seems to be that Testing Console needs elevated privileges (as I installed in Prog Files)
Getting above service error even with Admin mode. - Chris
Edit: Mmmm, a scan with a result! Just a registry entry ending "WmiApSrv\ImagePath" :|

i would try....
deleting the program and try reinstalling it. clear out all folders and registry entries. Also, make sure your firewall will allow the program to access the Internet.

Other Suggestion: Start menu link for uninstall??
OK 129260, doing so now. Strangely enough there wasn't an uninstall option from the start menu, had to go to the dir and select.. it may have got confused with the SB uninstall, but that still directs to SB..
During uninstall: System Error Code 1060. The specified service doesn't exist as an installed service
*waves bye bye to logs*. - Chris
Edit: any idea where the reg entries are: Searched SDDT but didn't find anything.
Pepi: Put the link on the front page? Or not?

wow that is weird.......
try downloading and then installing it again even though there are traces of the program there........the registry entires i found were right next to spybot. They were called distributed testing. The service has the same name. Right click my computer-manage-go to services. see if its in the list. if it is, click restart and see what happens.

Pepi: made two suggestions (see posts titles), in case you missed them.
129260: No service, the only one i have the is security centre integration.
Have got the files to do a reinstall now, will do so tonight and post back - Chris
