I don't knw which version it is.. it's the one from Bryce's homepage I belive, fileversion is "4.0.1381.1" (28th may 1997).

I do not believe it's the environment variable, since I tried without it before (see this thread) with the same results...

But what I HAVE discovered is that secure.exe v.2.10 is really screwed. It somehow remembers the old inputname and if that file doesn't exists it creates one... no miracle that the encrypted *.exe could go wrong... check this out:

code:

║                                                                           ║
║                                                                           ║
╚════════════════════════λ 2;═════════════════════════	 552;════════════════════════╝

The input file here was "runinst2.com", and the output "runinst2.com"...?!!?! I tried it several times..

I'll download a new version of secure and try again..
