    Has anyone had success installing the latest BOClean (4.27) on a dual boot setup of XP and Vista? I installed it first on Vista, then on XP. I received a "BOCLEAN.DLL is missing" error during my next Vista startup. I did a search for the file and noticed that it exists in the XP partition but does not in the Vista partition. I also noticed that inspect.sys file for Comodo Firewall is missing as well on the Vista partition. I gather that BOClean checks all partitions for previous installations and deletes the corresponding files if detected?

    Did you uninstall any previous version of BOClean before installing the latest version?
    Installing a new version will not remove an old one and, according to the Comodo BOClean website, will result in running both versions; link
    Have you tried uninstalling BOClean in Vista and reinstalling there?

    There was no previous version installed, only the current version once installed for Vista and once for XP.

    I tried it again and the same deletion occurred.

    Have you tried installing it in Vista with 'run as administrator' as mentioned in the Comodo/BOClean forum page here? link.
    Also, check out this thread, link.
    If that info doesn't offer a solution, post your problem on that forum.
