    thank you for replying to this queston and sorry for the late reply

    after installing soapui 5.1.3 this error still happened, but i detected a pattern, and find out the error always started after the diary avg virus scanning.

    avg reports soapui.exe as infected so i think that it was ignoring the exception rule that i defined as i installed soapui.

     

    resuming, after some weeks of stress, thinking how in the world i would survive without soapui, the problem origin was the anti-virus software, one of the first things that i checked when the issue started, and after configuring another exception rule, this time for the base SmartBear directory, the problem is resolved and i'm again a happy soapui user.

Hmm..Quite strange. Have you tried installing in other drive than 'C:'? Just it may be really a matter. Just to isolate if any policies that you might have or user has restrictions installing or modifying under C:\Program Files etc

    Well done solving your issue and more importantly also sharing that information regarding potential issues with virus checkers, could help others - have some kudos! :-)
