This is due to plugins?

All the plugins were disabled, otherwise the program crashes at startup
Did not find any workaround, had to to expose unprotected (only obfuscated) program to make it work

Can you please send me the sample at support@enigmaprotector.com for testing?

And also, what version of Windows do you use?

Edited: as recently was noticed, Virtual Machine - Entry Point option may cause such problem. You have to disable this feature.

It was not used, because crashes the application on start

Hi sanyock,

Yes, if you could participate then it would be good. We are currently limited with testing on W 2008 R2, so if you can test some debug version there, it would be very helpful.

I've sent you debug version and instructions using PM.

Log files sent.

May be a temporary workaround can be done by a custom bootstapper/wrapper which would find a correct runtime and help the program to start? I am not sure how to do this, any samples would be helpful. An idea is to add a small custom executable, say written in delphi to help start the program. It could be virtual boxed and protected too.

In mono under linux generally I have to explicitelly specify runtime executable like:
/usr/bin/mono --runtime=VERSION /some_path/my_own_dotnet_program.exe

May be something similar can be done in WIndows?

The problem only occurs on the Enterprise edition of the Windows 2008 R2 SP1,
on the Standard edition of the Windows 2008 R2 SP1 a program protected by Enigma works fine.
Please let me know, have any fixes been done for the problem since last time we discussed it?
