| Abstract: | The VLF component DW_T01.DLL is recognized as a virus by some anti-virus software |
| Submitted By: | LANSA Technical Support |
Description:
Some anti-virus software, for example AVIRA's AntiVir, incorrectly flag a LANSA shipped DLL (DW_T01.DLL) as a potential virus or unwanted program during a Visual LANSA installation. If this file is flagged and subsequently quarantined, deleted, renamed or denied access by the anti-virus software, this will cause VLF application failures.
Solution:
The Installing LANSA on Windows Guide states the following in 2.2 Visual LANSA General Checklist.
Before starting, you should have:
- Turned off your anti-virus software. Please leave it off while running the install/upgrade.
To avoid potential install or execution failures, you should follow the recommendation above during a Visual LANSA install. If the file has already been flagged and quarantined, you should follow the anti-virus software's instructions to release the file from quarantine.
