VMProtect and walking the call stack

Hello, I have been using the methods described here: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/11132/Walking-the-callstack to produce call stacks to be used in locating bugs in code. When VMProtect the executable, the generated call-stack becomes quite useless. IS there a method or tool, like the minidump...

Hi, I am using VMProtect_Con.exe and midway through converting an executable, the conversion dies and reports an "[Error] Out of Memory". I'd rather not post all the logs and details on an open site, but is there some generic areas I should check to ensure my configuration is not looping (...

Re: Need Help with MiniDumpFixer

I do wish to apply the same debugging strategy that I currently employ, that is using the generated minidump file to assist in the problem determination.

If this isn't the typical method of debugging post VMProtect, is there an existing best practice that I can turn to?

thanks,

Re: Need Help with MiniDumpFixer

Hi, I have the same issue as is posted above. I have a .pdb file (from the pre-VMProtected file), a minidump file (generated from the program.vmp.exe), and the program.vmp.exe file. Of course, when i try to open the minidump file, Visual Studio tells me there is no debug information available. I und...
