Sabnzbd 0.5.2 final startup error - sqlite3 message

Post by azako »

Hey! I've installed version 0.5.2 final, but when I doubleclick the application, it just doesn't start. I then tried opening the console version to check to outcome, and it gives me this error message:

"Sorry, requires python module sqlite3 (pysqlite2 in python2.4)"

It seems like this is a Linux type problem, and I have no idea how to handle this in Windows 7..

Version: 0.5.2
OS: Windows 7
Install-type: Both the windows installer and ZIP-package
Skin (if applicable): Default
Firewall Software: Bitdefender Antivirus 2010
Are you using IPV6? No
Is the issue reproducible? Yes

Check your virus scanner. Some are are triggering on the sqlite3.dll
and subsequently remove the file.

I can't start either with 0.5.2 and BitDefender (Total Security 2010). Where can I change my antivirus/firewall settings to get it back to work?

You might consider complaining to the fools who made BitDefender and charged you money for it.
They have no excuse deleting a perfectly good DLL like sqlite3.
Not even if some viruses/trojans use it too.

Indeed, time for a complaint.
I "fixed" it, by turning the antivirus part of the programme off before starting sabnzbd.
Not a real answer, but whatever. As long as I can download again :)
