EP's VirtualBox and Windows StartUp.

Post by SeniorEx »

Hi,

I came across a problem with The Enigma Protector today 4.20, my soft has one exe file binded with the main soft, i used the option "Virtual Box" of the protector, all normal when run by double click , but the problem lies when i wanted to make my soft start each time at the Windows startup , using the registry keys
Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
the main soft runs ok , but the binded 2nd exe file (virtualised) is not found by the main soft (even i tried to write to disk function if not found) and shared all the recourses and i enabled all the functions., but when i start it manually by Double c , it runs fine, but not automatically at the system startup.

can you guide me with anything that maybe i'm missing here ?

Thanks.

You probably have it do this.

open(secondaryfile.exe);

instead do this:

open(c:/full/path/to/file/secondaryfile.exe);

or you can set the current working directory with your application if you wanted to do it that way.
thank you , but it didn't solve my problem

the problem is in the VirtualBox system of the Protector ( some bug in the CreateProcess API when its run by a Virtual file ) i hope the Team will fix it soon
