i4jdel0.exe and java.

[gleofrocga]

I've noticed .jar files and an i4jdel0.exe files in my temp fodlers, just after running this game. They are digitally signed, and I'm wondering what purpose do they serve and are related to this game?

also, does this game install Java? I see alot of java components within the files.

Thanks.

That's related to the I4J installer which . . . PZ doesn't use. Install any other Java games, such as MineCraft, lately?

The game ships with its own version of Java, the binary of which is in its installation directory. It doesn't install it system wide.

I don't have java installed myself, I noticed as soon as I ran the game that i4jdel executable was created.

I confirmed this by uninstalling and running the game again, and also a friend of mine who has the game saw the same thing. Is there a reason it uses this?

Congratulations, you apparently have a fairly old virus: http://home.mcafee.com/virusinfo/virusprofile.aspx?key=945328

As I said, the file is digitally signed, and was created when running Project Zomboid. I uploaded the file to virustotal and it has a false positive heuristics detection. It is from Project Zomboid since prefetch files show it running at the same time as the project zomboid executable.

Would you mind running Project Zomboid yourself and see if it creates these files?

go to %temp% and run the game and search the temp folders for i4jdel0 and i4jdel.exe files.

I'm sorry, but you're experiencing something unique to you and your friend's system. I have no such files and have not heard of anyone with them in the ~4 years of PZ's existence.

Do you have a virus scanner?

I uploaded the file to virustotal and it is clean (digitally signed by ej technologies)

Install4j from what I can see is a multi-platform java installer. This is a multi platform game right? OSX, Linux, Windows?

You may need to run the game and view the Appdata/Local/Temp folder to see the files.

Searching Install4j in google, I can find reference that Install4j is in Project Zomboid logs. I can be certain this isn't an isolated occurence, and I'd just like to know what it does creating this temp files.

Checked with Lemmy: It's created by i4j exes after all.

Weird. :D

Thanks for the confirmation, sorry if this was a very specific issue! I just like to know what does what, etc.

Taking another look, it seems there's a bug in which the java builder fails to remove those temp files after the game is closed, (according to a "Wakfu MMO" forum post developer anyway).

Thanks for be able to check with someone, have a nice day!

Yeah, Vuze and BiglyBT come with this too....and as usual the bug still hasn't been fixed yet.....and it's 2019 now.....

Also minecraft doesn't use this, otherwise cryptoprevent would also detect execution of this file upon running the launcher....

With MineCraft, you actually need to install Java seperately.....or else the game won't run.....or install.....and the java installer you get from oracle, they don't contain this file either......or if it does, well then they've fixed it.....but you lot must be using an older installer.....with this bug...
