If used to kixtart scripting, i've got problems understanding how to use kixcrypt.
In order to try it, I use this very simple test.kix:

MD "d:\kixtart\test"

I then generate a test.exe using kcgen, setting debug on, temporary file to d:\kixtart\temp and including kix32.exe

The generated command line is:

****

kixcrypt -d -k -f "D:\kixtart 421\test\Kix32.exe" -t "d:\kixtart\temp" -e "%KIXCRYPTDIR%\d:\kixtart 421\test\kixcrypt.exe" "D:\kixtart 421\test\test.kix"

***

When I double click test.exe, I can see a dos window flashing by with (debug info I guess - no time to read), but subdirectory \test is not created under existing d:\kixtart.

What I'm doing wrong?

What's the function of the D:\kixtart 421\test\text.kix.kcp file?

Thanks for help!!!

I dont use kixcryp much but is this line doesnt look correct

Code:
  
"%KIXCRYPTDIR%\d:\kixtart 421\test\kixcrypt.exe"

Easy one first:

It is the KiXcrypt project file. It is simply used to remember the settings that you choose for the next time that you run kcgen.kix

You can safely remove this file, it will be recreated when you use kcgen again.

If you want to see the debug info, run test.exe in a dos console. You will very quickly see what the problem is.

Hmmm. That's broken. Thats very broken.

Did you explicitly set the execute line yourself? The value you have for "-e" doesn't make any sense at all.
