1.5 And SecuROM

[Travis Reed]

I've had the digital download version of the uboat addon for awhile, but I haven't been playing it for a bit. I did play it for awhile after I got it with no problems. I returned to SH4 recently, and am greeted with an error message about CmdLineExtInstallerExe.exe not being able to find WSOCK32.dll. I traced down the program and it is something that SecuROM installs. I was certain that SecuROM was essentially removed (and I did also remove it manually) after 1.3. However, after running the Sony provided removal util (which is the only thing I've found that's able to remove the license stuff in the registry as well), rebooting and all that, SecuROM installs itself again each time I run SH4. It's possible that SecuROM has been lingering since installing the uboat addon all those months ago and just never showed a problem until now. It's also possible that the autopathcer (if it even works...) did something to add it back. Has anyone else encountered signs that 1.5 has put SecuROM back in? I'm going to try reinstalling the uboat addon, hopefully that will clear it up...
