How to protect a couple of files that like a launcher

Post by makethewave »

I created one of the launcher.exe that has capability to execute B.exe where is same directory from launcher.exe.
After using Enigma Protector, and execute created file. Then launcher.exe cannot execute a B.exe.
Is there any special operation like this environment?
Here is the way what I did for making it.

1. Develop launcher.exe that has capability to execute B.exe.
2. Set the "Select file to protect" is launcher.exe
3. Drag and drop B.exe into file at VirtualBox
4. Then "Protect"
5. Created new protected C.exe file
6. Run created and protected C.exe
7. Then executed launcher.exe in C.exe but it could not open B.exe

it seems that launcher.exe in C.exe could not find B.exe file.
Does anybody has same experience about it?
I develop this application with C++ on Windows.

Hi,

First, you need to enable all options on the Virtual Box - Options panel, this is mandatory.

Second - launcher and launched program should be compiled with the same platform, i.e. both should be either 32 bit either 64 bit files.

Sorry for late notice. I tried to check option at all boxes but it's not launched second application.
Anyway, is it possible to visualize .EXE file in this software? It seems supported for dll, txt or something like data files.
I would like to pack 1st file and 2nd file into 1 enigma protected executable file.

Yes, this is possible to do, but there are some limitations and not all the EXE files are supported virtualization:
- make sure all options at Virtual Box - Options are checked, all of them are required to run virtual exe files
- make sure the 1st and 2nd exe files have the same platform, i.e. both are 32 bit or both are 64 bit files. If there is bits conflict, this won't work.
