<div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:12.8px">Hi all!</span><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">I'm using the brilliant CQP Web in a Box to try and install an already-indexed corpus. This corpus is located on my host machine, and I'm using VirtualBox's virtual folders to access it from within CQPWiaB. I've made a local copy of the registry file, placed it inside VirtualBox, and edited it to reflect the difference in paths between the host machine and the virtual machine, and everything seems to be where it should be (or point to where it should point). But when I go to CQPWiaB's "Install a corpus you have already indexed in CWB", enter the corpus's name and try to install it, I get one of two errors:</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">1. If I choose the option to look for the registry file in CQPweb's usual directory (which is where I've placed the modified registry file), it says: "A data-directory path could not be found in the registry file for the CWB corpus you specified. Either the data-directory is unspecified, or it is specified with a relative path (an absolute path is needed)".</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">I'm using an absolute path in the registry file (/var/cqpweb/index/test_flxml_corpus), and all the files appear there in my file manager.</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">2. If I choose the option to specify the location of the registry and enter the exact same directory that CQPweb uses as its default, but manually, I get this error: "A corpus by that name already exists in the CQPweb registry!".</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">I also get error 2 if I put in "/dev/null/" or garbage text ("asdfasdfas").</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">Any idea what's going on?</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">Thanks,<br>Scott</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jul 18, 2016 at 7:38 PM, Hardie, Andrew <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:a.hardie@lancaster.ac.uk" target="_blank">a.hardie@lancaster.ac.uk</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">Hi folks & esp. all you users of CWB on windows!<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif""><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">Recently, due to being Under New Management, SourceForge has cleaned up their act re: malware in downloadable files.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif""><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">Unfortunately CWB was caught in their net, resulting in big red “WARNING MALWARE” labels all over our project page.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif""><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">The cause for this is that two of the Windows binaries – cwb-atoi.exe and cwb-itoa.exe – for whatever reason trip the alarms on some (not all) antivirus systems; most likely
because they are such tiny programs.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif""><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">This was a known problem, but not critical (since antivirus warnings can be overridden) until it started showing up in our SF.net store.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif""><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">I’ve imposed a new policy to fix this swiftly: the atoi/itoa utilities will no longer be included in Windows binary releases. The code is still there, fo course, and if you
cross-compile it yourself, you will still get the exe for both. Of course they are non-essential and rarely used utils so I hope no one will miss them
<i>too much</i>.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif""><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">I have uploaded a new Windows binary bundle which no longer trips the malware detectors, and I have taken the otherwise step of scrubbing old builds which have the malware.
It seems to have worked, I can no longer see malware warnings anywhere on the project pages. BUT if you do see any, please do let me know!<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif""><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">Relatedly: in doing this, I realised, to my deep shame, that it is 4 years since I last built & posted a Windows build. So – even aside from the malware-alert issue – Windows
users may well wish to update in the near future. (Perhaps not immediately.)<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif""><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">I promise I will post updated Windows binaries more regularly from now on. Cross my heart and hope to (erm….) suffer indigestion.
