On Windows NT, the service fails to start.

This article applies to: BlackICE Defender.

SUMMARY

Some Windows NT machines have a problem with quotes around file names that prevent the product from starting.

DETAILS

Symptom

The service fails to start with the message not a valid Windows NT Application or The system cannot find the file specified. This comes from a bug in Windows NT because of missing quotes.

To fix this problem, edit the registry and put quotes around the "ImagePath" registry value. See http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q134/4/25.asp for more information.

Another solution would be to install in a directory that has no quotes.

This is fixed in an upcoming version, where we put quotes in the name of the service.
