Initialization Error 1 on Manually Mapped Module

Post by springtime »

Hello there,

I have an active VMProtect Ultimate license.
I am trying to load my module protected with VMProtect using my manual mapper library. When the module loads, VMProtect produces "Initialization Error 1". This does not happen to non-protected modules. This happens on any module protected by VMProtect, even a dummy DLL. I have played around with the Memory Protection, Import Protection, Resource Protection, Packing, and Debugger settings. Changing any of these settings does not change the outcome. No matter what, initialization error 1 is prompted.

I have also attempted to preserve all PE headers instead of erasing them, this does not change anything.

I am testing this on my local machine and can reproduce it easily.

"Initialization error 1" means that VirtualProtect has returned an error while working the vmprotect loader.

Is there anymore information you can provide so I can attempt to prevent this from happening?

To be clear, I use VirtualProtect in my own code in the module being loaded and it works fine without error.
