From: bruce34567 on 10 Jun 2008 10:56 I have used armadillo passport protection software for years to protect my director exe files. As of director 11 i now recieve the familiar error: Unable to load movie playlist. Does the .INI file exist? It must contain a section '[Movies]' with an entry 'Movie01=Pathname.dir'. This error is usually linked to 125 char pathname ref's which is not the case here. I am flustered as it seems i have hit a roadblock in protecting my director exe's, i have also tried the latest version of armadillo with same results... perhaps someone out there can recommend using another piece of copy protection software that they have got to work with d11 exe's . Perhaps there is a workaround? Any help appreciated Cheers Bruce
From: bruce34567 on 11 Jun 2008 12:04 I have now tried 2 other exe protection programs with no success, Adobe NEEDS to fix this as soon as possible as it now seems i cannot protect and create trials of any of my D11 software products .... Can someone at Adobe please look into this extremely large problem.
From: bruce34567 on 13 Jun 2008 11:04 Hoping someone in the community will confirm or deny my findings. I need to get to the bottom of this as i have 2 products ready to go and a client wondering what the holdup is. Thank you in advance Cheers Bruce
From: Mike Blaustein on 13 Jun 2008 11:07 I don't have a definitive answer for you, but most protection schemes can be duplicated in Lingo without relying on a 3rd party wrapper. If it turns out that there are no 3rd party wrappers that will work on D11 programs yet, then I would advise you look into writing the code yourself, or hiring someone to do it.

curious... do you publish your projector into one .exe? If so, after using the 3rd party protection scheme is the file still the same size or much smaller... say, the size of the projec32.skl file in the Director program folder?... |
