Metasploit Has Killed A Child

[TheKingUnderTheHill]

Guys, ive been trying to install Metasploit, but apparently it wont install

because a child has been killed, I havent killed any children, please help!

Aha, only kidding guys, but help with this error would be greatly appreciated!

Right click, Run as administrator?

Nope, still not working... Hmm, this really has me puzzled, can usually

figure out the problem from the message <_<

Sorry that I can't help you, but I had to post as I must have been laughing for a few minutes non stop :)

How bout installing an *NIX-like system? I also tried to install metasploit on win 7 couple of months ago and it was a real pain...

I'd strongly suggest getting a VM running Backtrack or some other flavour of Linux installed and running Metasploit in that. It may support windows but it isn't really native or happy there.

Derp, dont know why I didnt think of that! Thanks once again digininja!

And thats what im here for Sebkinne, a n00b to laugh at ;) aha

On that note, does anyone know where to get a Windows XP/7 image to work with VMWare?

Just install from scratch from a fresh ISO, you don't need a special version.

I have not tried to convert the VHDs to vmdks lately, but you might check here for Windows 7:

Have used things like this in the past for some testing.
