Please try the following:

Correct Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware Runtime Errors:

  • Please copy and paste the following text in the Code box exactly as written into notepad (not wordpad or any other text editor):
    if exist "%programfiles(x86)%" regsvr32 "%programfiles(x86)%\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbamext.dll"
    if exist "%programfiles(x86)%" regsvr32 "%programfiles(x86)%\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\ssubtmr6.dll"
    if exist "%programfiles(x86)%" regsvr32 "%programfiles(x86)%\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\vbalsgrid6.ocx"
    if not exist "%programfiles(x86)%" regsvr32 "%programfiles%\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbamext.dll"
    if not exist "%programfiles(x86)%" regsvr32 "%programfiles%\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\ssubtmr6.dll"
    if not exist "%programfiles(x86)%" regsvr32 "%programfiles%\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\vbalsgrid6.ocx"


  • Once you've done that click on File and select Save As...
  • In the Save dialogue box click on the drop down menu next to Save as type and select All Files
  • Name the file MBAM Fix.bat (the .bat extension is very important)
  • Save the file to your desktop and double click it to run it on XP. Note: For Windows Vista and Windows 7 right click on it and choose Run As Administrator
  • Click OK to each of the 3 dialog boxes that should show a success message for each file registered
  • If you get an error that REGSVR32 "is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file", then ensure that the file REGSVR32.EXE exists in the C:\SYSTEM32 folder. If it's not found there you can copy if from another Computer running the same operating system and service pack level.

If that doesn't fix it then please download and install the Service Pack 6 for Visual Basic 6.0 from here to see if it helps.

Let me know how it goes.

Thanks :)

Getting the same thing

Installing for the first time, on a clean WinXP SP3 install with all MS updates and no other AV/Malware software

So far no one has posted any weird env variables that would explain the error, so it seems the devil is in the code, not the users system

At this point the better question might be "who can install any of the last 2? versions of MBAM?"

Are you using AutoIt for coding this?, because the error codes remind me of it somehow

I have never had these problems (XP SP3) but I can, at times, reproduce some and get out easily -

The post above by exile360 seems to work with many similar problems - I think you can just adapt for XP system -

Well none of the above "solutions" work

Instead of requiring the user to endlessly tinker with their system, how about you just fix your code

Then we can all be friends :lol:

@ aussie39 -

Mostly these problems exist in one or so individual units - You will find that the 600,500 who downloaded from Cnet last week (see General Chat area) have not had any problems - Add 300,000 from here plus another estimated 500,-600,000 from other sites and there is only a .0001% with any problems usually -

Most are conflicts with firewalls or anti virus programs not allowing access to Malwarebytes due to being over sensitive -

Generally there is no code problem unless you have coded the computer yourself to not accept the program -

I can update every day and have found no generic problems exist on a normal system -

I assume you use programs like CCleaner or ATF cleaner and do all the normal clean up/maintainence (defrag etc) as required -

Thank you for your input and we will keep trying for a personal solution for you unless you maybe infected with malware and wish us to check your system for you - Free naturally, as all our diagnostics are free -

Regards - :lol:

As i stated earlier, i tried this on a clean XP SP3 system, nothing else installed, only windows updates (not infected with malware, in fact some of the latest updates will NOT install of it finds malware on your PC), no CCleaner no nothing.., i did this after trying it on my previous XP installation where it failed.

I believe that rules out any software on my system causing the conflict.

Also the fact that others have posted that (i think) v1.44 working without issue points to some sort of code regression.

Just thinking aloud....
