Hi,

I hope I'm placing this post in the right forum, but since the author of KiXcrypt is a moderator here...
I am testing a bit with the use of KiXcrypt, well, actually with the GUI kcgen.kix... everything seems to go well and a executable is created, but when I login with a user I've set this login script for, it doesn't run. So I've made a batch file in which I've placed the name of the exe (test) and a pause afterwards. The exe gives the following message:

FATAL: Cannot open self using path (with extension) 'test.exe'
Bailing out.

What does this mean? If I put the test.exe in the batch file it generates the same message, but then "(with extension) 'test.exe.exe'".

regards,

jeroen

KiXcrypt needs to be able to "find itself".

No, not some fluffy new age pseudo-psychology, the program reads itself to unload the packaged files.

To do this it uses the command line which was used to start it to get the path. If you've started it without an explicit path it may have trouble finding itself.

Try using "\\MYSERVER\NetLogon\test.exe" to call the script rather than a relative path.

I thought I'd documented this, perhaps not...

Let us know if this cures the problem for you.

Perfect! works great now! thanks for the quick reply. I reread the manual (ver 3.05a) but I couldn't find this.

again, thanks a lot!

regards,
