[Bug]: InternetBlock Module ERROR! FILE NOT FOUND! #67

Closed CheemCow closed 1 year ago

CheemCow commented 1 year ago

What happened?

Whenever I have CCStopper Running and do options 2, then 1, I get this error and I honestly have no idea what could be causing it. I allowed CCStopper in outbound rules but there isn't anything for it in inbound rules so I don't know if that's supposed to be how it is within windows firewall. I am running the batch file as an admin and I have creative cloud already installed along with a few adobe apps. I did try to see if it would still work but it just prompts me to start my free trial.

Expected Result?

I'd like to figure out why it won't work and how to make it so it is allowed to work properly.

Version?

v1.2.2

Windows Version?

Win 11

Hello, the official CCStopper release does not have an Internet Block module (not after v1.2.0_pre.1). You may be using a fork/alternate distribution of CCStopper. Unfortunately, I cannot provide support for those.

I recommend you get the latest release. The internet block module was split into the firewall block and add to hosts modules, so I would recommend you try those instead.

I left "InternetBlock" in the menus of FirewallBlock.ps1, changed that in the 1.2.2-hotfix.1 release. Doesn't fix the issue, just fixes the naming :/

The version I downloaded was directly from this github page. I even downloaded it multiple times and tried moving it to from different drives to see if it had to be on the same one as my creative cloud application. I did get rid of the issue by using the version prior to the one you mentioned where internet block was removed. It says 7 day trial so I'm not sure if it'll work past those 7 days but I did use the CCStopper v1.2.2 file from this github page.

Ah you are correct lol, sorry for the confusion! can't believe I completely missed that, the message means that the three files it looks for when blocking are missing.

Please check that these files exist: [...]ProgramFiles(x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Desktop Common\ADS\Adobe Desktop Service.exe [...]ProgramFiles\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Desktop Common\NGL\adobe_licensing_wf.exe [...]ProgramFiles\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Desktop Common\NGL\adobe_licensing_wf_helper.exe

Also, the old version's internet block module adds a bunch of entries to the hosts file in addition to the firewall, and so that might be what solved your issue.

Other versions wont work as well, but as you mentioned among those three files, the two: [...]ProgramFiles\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Desktop Common\NGL\adobe_licensing_wf.exe [...]ProgramFiles\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Desktop Common\NGL\adobe_licensing_wf_helper.exe are missing.

With the new v1.2.3-pre.2 update, I've removed the firewall block module because the CC App patch module solves the same problem. I'll be closing this issue when v1.2.3 is stable.
