Hyper-V (guest) option seems incompatible with Win11

Post by robert256 »

Hi Enigma,

I just updated to EP 7.70, and it runs much better (with previous versions my software sometimes didn't start). Now it always works as it should, many thanks for your continued work!

One thing I noticed, is that when I check the Hyper-V (guest) option, the protected exe doesn't work on Win11. Even on a standard Win11 home installation (which shouldn't support Hyper-V), it still gives an error and exits. On Win10 the protected exe runs fine. That's not a big deal, as I can simply disable the option to make it compatible with Win11, but maybe this observation helps other developers.

Another problem I encountered on one laptop was that the protected program didn't start, and gave an error that the entry point of an included dll couldn't be found. I could fix that by installing the latest VC redistributable, but don't understand why that happened, as I link everything statically.

Best regards and thanks again!

Hi Robert, we have tried option HyperV Guest and unfortunately, can't reproduce the issue. Can you please give a bit more details on that. So when you enable this option, protected application just not start, shows error, or shows an error dialog like "This program can't run under virtual machine"?

As for this issue, you can send us non protected file at support@enigmaprotector.com, we will check if it use any VC library. Maybe your app is using some .dll that uses VC runtime, no? Or maybe you use some plugin to Enigma Protector that uses VC runtime?

Hi Enigma,

When I enable that option, I get the error dialog "Can't run under Hyper-V (guest). It occurs on several Win11 installations I tried. But again, I just disabled that and now all is working fine.

About the other problem: I include the prebuilt libtensorflow dll (version 1.15), maybe that could be causing the problem.

Best regards,

Robert
