Hi, if you have a .net application then you can protect exe files only, .net dll files can't be protected.

From other side, you may include dll files that app uses into Virtual Box - Files feature, and these dll files will be hidden.

If you have native dll files, then you can protect each dll file individually.

Do use use Advanced Input feature for protection, it is not needed in your case.

When dll is added to Virtual Box the protected application can work without them as they will be emulated in memory.

In your case, you need to protect all 3 exe files separately, with Virtual Box enabled for each exe. Does this way work for you?

embeding the .dll files workes great for the executable but when i run one executable from the main executable i still get

Code: Select all

 Error loading type 'MyType' from assembly 'MyType'. Could not load file or assembly 'Executable, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The module was expected to contain an assembly manifest.
i load up multiple exe files and attach them to the main executable so they can send messages to each other. the main one has no problem sending and receiving when it is run through the enigma but when i run the child process that the main process spawns and attaches to the main process cant recognize it and spits out the error. Plugin to host/ host to plugin type of system.

Is that correct that you've added exe files to Virtual Box also? Try to protect each exe file separatele, include only dll files in Virtual Box, keep the exe files as is, do not include exe files to Virtual Box.

If this does not help, send us all files for tests at support@enigmaprotector.com
