Carbon Black causing trouble
I need to use Linqpad on a clients machine and they have Carbon Black, which requires that every exe (and some dlls) be approved on a whitelist. They are happy to approve, but also slow to respond (2 hours time difference). I got them to approve the installer, and then linqpad8-x64.exe, and now it looks like linepad.query.dll needs to be approved.
I am concerned that this will never end! has anyone else used Linqpad in such an environment? I've had Linqpad5 approved on those systems before. But really want to use 8 now.

Hmm, is linqpad.query.dll created new every time? They approved the file in the screen shot above, but it's not being accepted.
This is a losing game. Assuming you get through this, LINQPad will then compile your script into a .dll that it will then need to load. This will obviously be different each time, so it will not be possible to whitelist.
I'm not sure how you got LINQPad 5 to work... is there some other whitelisting mechanism they can use?
@Joe thanks. I am not sure how LinqPad5 is working. The whitelisting is a black box to me. I think that what is working is that CB is actually pretty dumb. I find that mostly it blocks exes but I can replace dlls and it seems OK with that. Sometimes.
