I had a bit of trouble getting WC3Banlist (mainly due to its dependency on WinPcap) on Windows 7
This is working on Windows 7 RC1, with User Acount Control (UAC) on (set to Default)
I did quite a few things when troubleshooting so it’s hard to replicate the exact steps, but here’s some instructions on how I have it set up now:
Install WinPcap
- Download WinPcap 4.1
- Right click the downloaded installer exe and choose Properties
- Go to the Compatibility tab
- In Compatibility mode, Tick “Run this program in compatibility mode for:” and choose Windows Vista (Service Pack 2) from the drop-down
- Tick “Run this program as an administrator” in Privilege Level
- Hit OK
- Run the exe and go through the normal installation
Install WC3Banlist
- Download WC3Banlist
- Right click the installation file and choose Run as administrator
- Untick “Install WinPcap 3.1 (required)” when you get to the “Select additional tasks” step and proceed as normal
Run Wc3Banlist
- Browse to where you installed banlist and open up file properties for wc3banlist.exe
- Go to the Compatibility tab and tick Run as an administrator
- Click OK
- Run wc3banlist.exe
Verify
- Go to the Preferences tab in Wc3Banlist
- Select Network in the list on the left navigation pane
- Ensure your network card(s) are listed in the drop-down
- You can click Diagnostics to verify banlist can receive TCP packets
Troubleshooting
If this still isn’t working, I would recommend turning off UAC and trying again.
- To turn off UAC, open the Control Panel (Start > Control Panel)
- Click System and Security
- Under Action Center, click Change User Account Control settings
- Drag the slider down to Never Notify
- Click OK
- You have to restart for this to take effect
