Stating Windoze-Version

[Guest]

Hello Readers,
today I installed BFilter on a WIN98 system and almost went crazy as it constantly had errormessages like:
Loading config ...
Could not open C:\Programme\BFilter\conf\config
Loading standard url patterns ...
Could not open C:\Programme\BFilter\conf\urls
Loading local url patterns ...
Could not open C:\Programme\BFilter\conf\urls.local
Loading content filters ...
Could not open C:\Programme\BFilter\conf\filters\Common annoyances filter
Could not open C:\Programme\BFilter\conf\filters\PopUp filter

I used FileMon from SYSInternals and did not find any problem there. Only when I used REGMon from the same company I noticed BFilter was looking for wship6.dll and checked what this .dll was used for IPV6 I got the idea to check the BFilter homepage closely and finally found a statement about removing Win9x-support (which I find a shame).

I want to suggest to avoid further trouble like that by either having the installer check for working windoze-versions or at least state on the HP clearly that BFilter won't run win Win9x. That had saved me a lot of trouble and time and I guess I will do for others as well.

Regards,
Frank
