Qeditor.exe and other files compressed with 32lite are not working......

[Vineel Kumar Reddy Kovvuri]

Hi everybody

File compressed with 32Lite 0.03a(Oleg Prokhorov ) of masm32 package
like bintodb.exe,liblist.exe, qeditor.exe , thegun.exe are not working after
installing Kaspersky antivirus . These files are closing with windows error
dialog box(Windows has encountered an error).

I used PEiD to know the compression of these files

Rest all files compressed with upx  are working fine.


plz can any body provide some solution to this.

DEP related most likely...

vineel,

Get the DEP compatible replacements in the masm32 sub forum. Microsoft changed the PE specifications after the relase of masm32 version 9.0.

PEiD looks like a nice tool :

Hi,

I've sent a complaint about the problem to kaspersky's customer support in March 2007. They asked, if people providing the masm32 package couldn't contact them to solve the problem (at MASM32 package)...
My last info is that kaspersky people are working on it , but it has not the highest priority at all  :'( .

I have already solved the problem by rebuilding all of the effected binaries so they will run under DEP. Unfortunately the last release version of MASM32 was before Microsoft changed the specs for PE files but the next version will not have the problem. In the mean time the binaries are available in the masm32 sub forum.

Well... Not at all, because it is a little bit problem with liblist.exe and some other files like windows.inc...

Yes. It seems so the last version of masm32 from Microsoft is a little piece of sh.. i mean almost totally not compatible with previous versions..
I sugest use masm32 versions over 8 and it should be okey.
I use versions 8.2 and it is any problem with this version.

Btw. Masm32 v8.2 You can find here: http://www.codingcrew.de/masm32/old_version.php
The site is in deutsch.

Jerry,

The project is now version 10 (TEN) and the versions you are recommending are years out of date. Microsoft introduced DEP AFTER these versions were released and they would not run on a default system that had DEP enabled. If you have installation problems with version 10, ensure your machine has its OS installed properly and is virus/trojan free.

Jerry,
...

Yes i know, but i want use version 8.2 because i also use Chrome IDE.
MASM version 8.2 + masm service packs from http://www.codingcrew.de/masm32/old_version.php it works. If somebody (like me) also need compile files from http://nehe.gamedev.net i suggest download and rebuild libraries from lesson 36 (gl.def, glu.def and other).
Chrome IDE not correctly work with MASM v.10.
Sorry not actual information for MASM's...

jerry,

I don't see what Chrome has to do with it. Exactly the reason why all of the masm32 files were rebuilt or rewritten was the change in specification by Microsoft with DEP. An old version cannot work with DEP anabled. If there is a problem with Chrome, I would contact its author, not pass the problem back to an old version of masm32 that is out of date.

[samurai.jerry]

jerry, (...)

You are absolutely right Hutch, but if somebody (like me) need to use Chrome IDE write now should install MASM32 in version 8.2 because it is a latest version which contain correct directories after installation process (i mean the directories in MASM are suitable with setup preferences in Chrome). Some of preferences in Chrome IDE You cannot just change. You got absolutely right if You mean so the author of Chrome should prepare newest version of Chrome (and i know so it is in progress-i read it at Chrome forum site).

The problem is not in new version of MASM32 but synchronization MASM with Chrome.

Regards, Jerry

[dedndave]

you may be able to fix the issue(s) by adjusting the environment variables
these are the paths for C: installation:

PATH     C:\masm32\bin      should be in the list
MASM     C:\masm32\bin
INCLUDE  C:\masm32\include  should be in the list
LIB      C:\masm32\lib      should be in the list

Jerry,

What the author of Chrome needs to do is make the paths configurable so it can be set up to any configuration that is needed. A massive amount of work was done on the latest masm version of QE to make it configurable so that it was not dependent on any particular directory structure. In the short haul the way to circumvent the problems of Chrome not matching the version 10 directory structure of MASM32 is to use a batch file for each project build which is then entirely independent of the editor being used.

It is in fact very easy to write a hard coded build technique into an editor, its done with repeated calls to CreateProcess() but QE deliberately avoids doing this as it is inflexible and usually non-configurable.
