Dear all.

I want to use Visual Studio 2026 (c++ compiler) and enable to run a resulting exe file (console application).
I tried to set configuration file for a few hours, then AI tried to help.
Nothing. There is no way to show console exe file that is constantly blocked or closed.
I would be grateful for a complete SEB configuration file that works.

With best regards,
Maggy

You'll need to allow the actual resulting executable file in your configuration, otherwise it will get blocked as SEB assumes it to be a not allowed application.

The details can be found in the log of the client application component, and the instructions on how to permit third-party applications are in our user manual: https://safeexambrowser.org/windows/win_usermanual_en.html#ApplicationsPane.

Dear dbuechel.
Could you look at my configuration file enclosed?
I probably should changed something in Registry panel, but it is not available (grey).
The manual says something like that.

Dear dbuechel.
I send you my configuration file once again.
Now - without the password and based on your latest version of SEB.
Please, try to help me as it is very important at the moment.
I need it on Wednesday evening.
