Thanks Brian,
Your reply helped me resolve my issue.
I have the cleabwipe.db file, but what i didn't do is to take the cleanwipe.exe and cleamwipe.db files and relocate them together in a different folder. What I was doing is doulble clicking cleanwipe.exe from winzip and it would open the dialogue box and the error message comes up.
Thank you for your feedback, very much appreciated.
kind regards
Zak
