Encrypted exes under windows 10 ARM

Post by alsys135 »

Hello,

I have a customer that has a windows 10 ARM 64 bits under a Snapdragon 8cx @ 2.84 Ghz and any encrypted exe file by vmprotect that is launch here does not start up. If not encrypted it is OK.

Those machines are from LENOVO most of them ->

Hi,

We have a similar ARM problem.

Environment:
- Apple Mac M1
- Windows 10 ARM running in Parallells Desktop

VMProtected file will not start.

We've tried 3.6.0 build 1408 and build 1445 with same result.

Works fine in Windows 10 on Intel.
Works on ARM when not using VMProtect.
We only use VMProtect to virtualize functions. Other VMProtect options (such as compress or encrypt) are off.

Did you try your application on Windows 10 ARM without Apple Mac M1?

Yes, it works fine on Windows 10 ARM on Surface Pro X.

Additional info:

When trying a older VMP version (build 1213) then it also works on Parallells. So it seems it is something added in later versions of VMP that causes problem with Parallells for ARM.

Rosetta2 has bugs while emulating some Intel instructions like "MOVZX R16, R16" on Apple Mac M1.
