I just tried to install Antispam Sniper x64 on the new version of The Bat! and a fresh install of Windows 10. When I try to load the tpb plug-in from the AntispamSniper folder, I get an error that the file is invalid. When I copy the tpb file to The Bat's program folder, the file seemingly is accepted in the plug-in folder and I'm told to restart The Bat! When I do, Antispam Sniper is not listed as a Plug-in .

Please tell me what I'm doing wrong! I've successfully used Antispam Sniper for years with Windows 7.

Apparently you are trying to install 64-bit plug-in in 32-bit TheBat. 64-bit plug-in can be installed only in 64-bit TheBat, and 32-bit plug-in suits only for 32-bit TheBat.

My copy of The Bat! reads "Version 9.0.6 (64-bit) and installed itself in the Program Files folder. The copy of AntispamSniper I downloaded is sniper-mui-3.3.4.3_x64, but, curiously, it installed itself in the Program Files (x86) folder.
Apparently something else is going on.

Thank you for your quick reply, though.

It is possible to add the installed tbp file in TheBat from any folder. There must be no error messages, except a request from plug-in to restart TheBat.
If the error message about invalid file occurs when you are trying to install 64-bit plug-in to 64-bit TheBat, it looks like the plug-in is added from a wrong folder. Try to delete all existing plug-in instances from disk and install the plug-in once again. Then use the chosen installation folder for adding the plug-in to TheBat.

The only tbp file that was installed was to the (x86) folder. When I try to add it from there to the Plug-in, I get the error message. When I copy it to The Bat!'s folder, I don't get the error message, just the restart message. After I restart, however, AntispamSniper has not been installed.

If I had to guess, I'd say my AS installation file is actually the 32-bit file, but I'm not sure what to do about it. I've tried downloading the 64 bit file 3 times without change.

Try to install the plug-in to a different folder, i.e. change the path during installation. Probably TheBat doesn't have enough privileges to access the tbp file in current installation folder. It is possible to copy the plug-in folder manually with all contained files to a different place on disk.

This is very odd. I did as you suggested and pointed the install to The Bat!'s installation folder. When I tried installing the tbp file, though, I got the error message. I tried again with the tbp I'd previously copied to the folder and was told to restart. THIS time the plug-in appeared where it was supposed to and has started to work. I don't know what happened and just hope I don't have to do it again soon.

One more question: How do I get the mark as spam/not spam icon back on The Bat's bar?

It is necessary to enable the plug-in toolbar using TheBat menu:
Workspace | Toolbars | AntispamSniper
