Description

Hi,

i've tried it and used it in ubuntu and it works perfectly. but in xp:

Immediately after installation of metasploit, using the online update for metasploit in the program files menu, gave me an svn update error in command prompt Online Update:

Updating the Metasploit Framework... svn: 'modules\auziliary\scanner\smb' is not a working copy directory svn: Working copy '_' locked svn: run 'svn cleanup' to remove locks <type 'svn help cleanup' for details> Press any key to continue . . .

I installed svn. then ran metasploit update again. this time the command window started and it tried to update, but then i got 2 windows saying that svn has crashed. Then after clicking Don't Send (report to microsoft)...online update closed and metasploit still doesn't work.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Did you run 'svn cleanup' on the msf3 svn copy? You don't need to install SVN as MSF3 already ships with it. Check the \bin directory.

Usually this occurs when things like AV etc modify the SVN copy you are using and effectively break it.

Hi, thanks for your reply,

I've looked in \bin there is no mention of svn. No, I haven't ran the 'svn cleanup' on the msf3 copy. Before asking you this question I tried searching on Google but with no luck...Could you please tell me how i can run svn cleanup on the msf3 copy on windows xp?

when i'm in command prompt and try to use :

svn cleanup

it says svn is not a recognized command. I'm trying this into the directory too... do i have to specify a path? if so how do i do that
