I took the plugins.xml file located in C:\Program Files\Tenable\Nessus\plugins from a known working installation, and copied it to the problematic install, and the scan appeared to work again at that point.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 01/30/2008 11:06 AM To [email protected] cc Subject RE: scan.exe crash I have a fresh XP install, downloaded the latest windows nessus, and did the plugin update during install. Without changing any options, I simply select to scan the local host, with all plugins except dangerous enabled. I scan from the local host. I get the following popup: (I also tried scanning a remote host with same effect) title: scan Can not connect to the Nessus Server Possible causes Nessus Server service is not running Nessus Server service needs to be restarted Nessus plugins are corrupt or not up to date Remote Nessus Server not running or misconfigured Remote Nessus Server credentials are incorret 1: Verified -- it is running 2: Restarted -- still fails 3: Updated today... so... ? 4; Local, not remote 5: Local, not remote This is a registered feed.

New installs today were broken immediately. Install which worked fine yesterday broke after updating plugins today. Jason A.
