Hi,
I need to execute hex2bin.exe and bin2hex.exe, but it doesn't work.
It says ,,Warning: unprotecting memory to allow real-mode calls.
NULL pointer accesses will no longer be caught.''
And no output files are created. I need to kill the process ,,winevdm.exe''
afterwards.
I already added the file MSVCRT.DLL to the windows/system-directory,
but it didn't help.
It works under the ,,real'' WindowsXP, though.
Any advice?
Thanks,
Christiane
Is it really necessary to run the programs in CrossOver? Since these are DOS programs, you might consider using something along the lines of DOSBox to run them in Linux:
Hi Stewart,
I have also Virtual Box, with Windows XP and it didn't work here either.
But I think I found the problem: The programs hex2bin.exe and bin2hex.exe which
I had were from 1995 and they couldn't handle file and directory names with more
than 8 letters.
The original WindowsXP seems to have a workaround for this, but Crossover doesn't.
Now I found a newer version of hex2bin.exe and a source code version in C of
bin2hex.
These version don't accept the original options, though.
Still, they produce some output, and I have to wait and see whether it
runs on the new microprocessor which I get the next days.
But thanks for your help!
