I purchased HotLinkBlocker and I’ve installed it.  None of the sites are showing Hotlink Blocker Tab under its properties under IIS Snapin.  I’ve followed the instructions for installing the Snap-in extension and there is no "HotlinkBlocker Snap-in extension" to put a check by in the last step in the "Extensions" tab on the "Add/Remove Snap-in" dialog under "Information Services" in the Microsoft Management Console. 

I’m using Microsoft Windows 2003.  Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

I'm installing the newest version available I believe: hotlinkblocker0051.msi

I tried registering it with the following command and then got the following error:

Command:

regsvr32.exe C:\DotNetPanel\HostingSpaces\counter-strike\HotlinkBlocker.d ll

Error:

C:\DotNetPanel\HostingSpaces\counter-strike\HotlinkBlocker.d ll was loaded, but the DllRegisterServer entry point was not found.  This file can not be registered.

Yes, it's 64 bit.  How do I got about getting a refund?  Are there any other products that you recommend similar to this one that will work on a 64 bit operating system?

Thanks,

Pete

I've downloaded the 64-bit version.  I'll see if I can get it to work.

Thanks,

I followed the instructions here:

http://www.helicontech.com/hotlinkblocker/doc/protecting.htm

I'm using the REFERER protection method.  I added my /uploads folder to the protection folders list and set REFERER protection mode.

Example file: http://maps.domain.com/download.php?fid=93&file= de_rats_fabi.zip

Thanks,

The config file is posted below.  All of the domains are located on the same server.  The subdomain maps.counter-strike.com is currently down, but we're working on getting it back up.  I want to protect .zip and .rar files in that domain.

The website going down was unrelated to Hotlinkblocker.

How can I test to see if this is working correctly?

I can download the .zip files just fine from other websites.  It doesn't appear to be working.

I have registered it.  I click on the "About" button and it says it's registered.

The HotlinkBlocker ISAPI filter shows a red down arrow to the left of it.  I assume that means it's down?

I receive the following error in Event Viewer under Applications:

"Could not load all ISAPI filters for site/service. Therefore startup aborted."

Since this points to HotlinkBlocker not starting I haven't done anything with LINK protestion mode.
