I'm not 100% sure, but I think pyrun.exe is some sort of python language interpreter. Wubi is written in Python. I could be wrong, though. You're the first person in this thread who has had AV problems with pyrun.exe. The rest of us were trying to get pyrun.exe to stop giving us a no disk in drive

I did a test that seems to confirm Ray's point in #66 -- that is, that it if the application calls SetErrorMode(1) the pop-up will be off for the whole application including for any threads started by the application. ** Attachment added: threadTest.py

Ray, I don't know windows api either. I found SetErrorMode after literally hours and hours of googling. Also, it needs to be clear...I have no experience in Python at all...except to try to figure out the Wubi code. Also, you raise a good point, I seem to recall getting this error during

Hey Ray, Excellent catch...that best practice thing. I glanced at the article when I first discovered SetErrorMode() and totally missed that important info. Not only that, but I get the idea that it is setting the error mode only for that application...in deed, maybe even only for the particular
