Installation error on windows 7 SP1 about owlyshield HOT 6 CLOSED

Hi,

We did not test it on windows 7 but it might work.

Could you check the properties of C:\Windows\System32\drivers\OwlyshieldRansomFilter.sys ? In the "Digital Signatures" section, you should see something like this:

Is seems Microsoft issued this root certificate in 2014. Is your instance last update older?

from owlyshield.

It's same as the screen you captured, the windows 7 is a sandbox system we have for ransomware analysis, I'll apply updates to the machine for the CA cert expire issue.

I upgraded the windows 7 with latest patches, then I uninstalled Owlyshield and rebooted windows 7. I installed Owlyshield again, there was no driver error message this time, but when I load owlyshield_ransom.exe, there was another 'could not connect to the service controller`.

I also tried to run it on Windows 10, it also had the same error Error: Winapi(OS code: 1063, kind: Uncategorized, Message:" The service process could not connect to the service controller."})

from owlyshield.

Hi,

It's a service (unless you explicitly compile it with particular flags). Try to start the "Owlyshield Service".

from owlyshield.

I close it due to inactivity. Feel free to reopen it if necessary.
