Hi guys, I guess I shouldn't take time off work - something always goes horribly wrong when I do.

Well, I confess this has me stumped. There used to be a problem with a malloc() call (C memory allocation), where on some versions of Windows the memory was initialised to all zeros, and on some it wasn't. Due to some lazy coding on my part this was occasionally throwing exceptions.

This has been repaired for quite a while, and shouldn't be an issue any more.

Stephen, could you try replacing "%s" with "^s". I added "^" as a synonym for "%" when I belatedly realised that using the DOS environment variable character on the command line was a pretty stupid way to go.

Thanks Richard,

This inside information - what was going wrong during development - can be
given only by you.
greetings.

Richard,

The ^ character gets rid of the program exception, "kixcrypt.exe qnew.kix \\QNEWSFILE\LOGON\Kix32.exe ^s"
but the crypted.exe now reports:

K:\SS\QNEW>crypted.exe
Decrypting from KiXcrypt version 002.12b
KiXcrypt author: Richard Howarth (rhowarth@sgb.co.uk)
Script error: failed to find/open script!
WARNING: Temporary file not deleted by KiXtart!

In the mean time I have resorted to creating a new longer share name ( 29 character parameter path ) and using %s.

That works!

Definately something weird going on here.

Stephen, could you mail me a copy of the crypted.exe which you have generated using the "^" character and fails. That may give me a clue as to what is going on.

You will need to rename it "crypted.foo" or something, as "exe" files will be dropped by our anti-virus software.

Obviously if you have sensitive information in the script use a test file to generate the crypted file.

If you don't mind I may send you an updated version of KiXcrypt to debug the problem once I've had a look at it.

No problem. I am in EST, UT -5. I will bundle it up and send in a bit, I just got in at 7am.

I appreciate the effort on your part.
