5017 Client, Windows 7, and AVG CIDLoader Error Fix!

11/08/2010 06:16 JustThatOneKid#1
I've been working on my Private server based off of Hybrid's source and ran into a bit of a problem trying to connect to the client for the first time with CIDLoader.

Conquer.exe not found
Make sure Loader.exe is in the conquer folder

Here's a small guide to help others having the same issue. Found hints at a solution and it was kind of unclear in another thread I found searching the forums, Figured I'd put it in and easier place to find.

AVG Anti-Virus finds Conquer.exe to be a virus and deletes the file when trying to extract your client.

To fix this, do the following actions:

1.)Go into your AVG User Interface, Double-Click Resident Shield, Un-Click "Resident Shield active", and Save changes.
2.)Re-Extract your client.
3.)In the same menu in AVG User Interface, Click "Manage Exceptions", On the left pane, choose "Resident Shield Directory Excludes", click "Add Path", Select the folder where your client is located and click "OK". Next, in the left pane, choose "Excluded Files", go to the folder where your client is located, select Conquer.exe, click "Open". Click "Apply", then "OK". Re-Check "Resident Shield Active", "Save Changes" and close AVG User Interface.
4.)Edit the CIDServer file as usual, and run CIDLoader.

Yeah, but it was pretty frustrating for me to find this solution, and even when I did it wasn't very clear, and I could see where people would get confused. Just hoping this will be helpful for someone else.

There is alot anti-viruses does it, would be better if the conquer.exe just got fixed instead.

Thanks, SilentKill, added that to the first post. This should work for other anti-virus's as well, slight differences.

Mind uploading your client and linking? (dont ask why)

This is on the official CO forum.

I wasn't aware Basser, I only searched on this site, figured with how old the client was, wouldn't have much luck on the CO forums. Nor do I ever visit them lol.
