is-EH3C4.exe file in Windows folder

[lister]

On updating to 1.42 (free) an error on reboot listed is-EH3C4.exe

I found 3 files in the WINDOWS folder

is-EH3C4.exe
is-EH3C4.lst
is-EH3C4.msg

I opened the is-EH3C4.lst file with an hex editor and saw this...

; This file was created by the installer for:
;   Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
;   Location: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbam-setup.exe

; List of files to be registered on the next reboot. DO NOT EDIT!

[sq]C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\ssubtmr6.dll
[sq]C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\vbalsgrid6.ocx

What are these files doing, please?

[AdvancedSetup]

They are part of the InnoSetup installer that we use to create the installation. It would appear that you had some issue, crash to the computer or installer that caused it to fail and normally it would have cleaned those files up but in this case they were left behind accidentally.

If you're still having any issues then please try to temporarily disable your Anti-Virus and try the re-install again. Otherwise if the installation seems to be okay now then you can just delete those files.

Thanks.
