Hello,

Evaluation of .Net Encryptor last version
I have this error when executing the bootstrap
--------------------------------------------------------
2019-09-27T21:21:10 1.0.0.0 Une erreur Bootstrap non gérée par l'application a été déclenchée :
Unable to locate encrypted resource for assembly (MyAPP)
System.IO.FileNotFoundException
Unable to locate encrypted resource for assembly (MyAPP)
AssemblyLoader4x86
Void ExecuteAssembly(System.Reflection.Assembly, System.String, System.String, System.String)
at AssemblyLoaderx86.AssemblyLoader.ExecuteAssembly(Assembly callingAssembly, String resourcePrefix, String resourceExt, String assemblyName)
at AssemblyLoaderx86.AssemblyLoader.ExecuteAssembly(String resourcePrefix, String assemblyName)
at Bootstrap.Program.ExecuteAssembly(String assemblyName) in C:\Users\toto\source\repos\Bootstrap\Program.cs:line 100
at Bootstrap.Program.Main(String[] args) in C:\Users\toto\source\repos\Bootstrap\Program.cs:line 30

--------------------------------------------------------
I did changed the bootstrap project as written on the support forum
My app is WPF net 4.8
with DocumentFormat.OpenXML and Ookii.Dialogs.Wpf, an image and icon include in the project
In the main window I use Assembly.GetEntryAssembly() to display info on the exe.
I added in App.config the 2.0 version as seen in the forum
<startup>
<supportedRuntime>
<supportedRuntime>
</startup>

----------------------------------------------------------------
The samples work
defender antivirus running
Windows 10 pro with the latest updates in a Parallel VM on my MacBook Pro 2017

What the Hell am I missing ???

Any help is welcome as I really want to solve this, I want to deliver my application with this solution as it seems to me the best solution without Problem with the client computers

This error means that the bootstrap program was not able to locate the an embedded resource called "MyApp" to load the encrypted application from . Have you added the encrypted version of your application executable to the bootstrap project as an embedded resource as described in the help (see below)?

Thanks for the answer, effectively I forgot to embed the encrypted Assembly for the project.

Now the boostrap crash on the get of a Setting of my app:
---------------------------------------------------------------
at Syndemos.Properties.Settings.get_MoisRef() in C:\Users\toto\source\repos\SyndemosSLN\Syndemos\Properties\Settings.Designer.cs:line 78
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
---------------------------------------------------------------

My only WPF window does a lot of two way binding with the default settings class
Is there a way to handèle this situation ?
Or a workaround ?

Thanks in advance for your answers

Can you email the Settings.Designer.cs code to support@infralution.com so that we can take a look at what is going on in that code. Normally settings should work without any issues with .NET Encryptor.

Hello,

I solved the problem with this setting, for some unknown reasons I had to add a value, because it is empty the first time, the encrypted assembly always crashed:
Before
[global::System.Configuration.UserScopedSettingAttribute()]
[global::System.Diagnostics.DebuggerNonUserCodeAttribute()]
public global::System.DateTime MoisRef {
get {
return ((global::System.DateTime)(this["MoisRef"])); //<-------------- this way always null on the first execution and trigged a null objet exception I didn't have when not encrypted
}
set {
this["MoisRef"] = value;
}
}

After:
[global::System.Configuration.UserScopedSettingAttribute()]
[global::System.Diagnostics.DebuggerNonUserCodeAttribute()]
[global::System.Configuration.DefaultSettingValueAttribute("2019-01-01")]
public global::System.DateTime MoisRef {
get {
return ((global::System.DateTime)(this["MoisRef"]));
}
set {
this["MoisRef"] = value;
}
}

Thank you very much for your prompt answers.

The problem may have been that normally the default settings are read from the entry application config file (eg MyApp.exe.config). When you wrap use the bootstrap program it will be trying to load the settings (I think) from the bootstrap executable config settings (eg Bootstrap.exe.config). So you would need to copy the settings into this file - or use your solution so it does not need this.
