  • sbbsctrl.exe barfing

    From MRO@1:103/705 to digital man on Mon Mar 2 03:25:59 2026
    Okay here's what i did.

    Performed full backup

    Removed .dll files from sbbs\exec (i had some ms distro files in there)

    Ran the 321c update
    downloaded the usereditor

    the jsexec update runs and no error msgs.
    It exists with no error msg.

    Windows event viewer says

    "Faulting application name: sbbsctrl.exe, version: 3.21.2.0, time stamp: 0x00000000

    Any idea what i should do?
    I already deleted this file as admin and ran the redistributable installers.

    Also i dumped the sbbsexec files in there.

    Perhaps an event running is killing the bbs?
