Decompile Question

[Xenos]

Hello. I am new to AutoIT and have also started a new job. I have a question about decompile.

I am using the EXE2Aut utility.

If a passphrase is required to decompile - what will happen if I do not enter a passphrase yet click >CONVERT< what will happen?

I really do NOT like the fact that the passphrase field is open and waiting to accept data even before I select the file. To me, the passphrase field should ONLY open up IF a phrase is required.

What i am trying to say is if the EXE was compiled WITH a passphrase yet I do not put in a passphrase, the utility dies and crashes.

How do you know if a passphrase is required? I did not author the script or the EX but I need to get at the script to edit it. The person who wrote the script is no longer with the company.

Can anybody help?

Thanks

Newbie

If you didn't enter a passphrase then just leave it blank. The only way to know if there is a passphase required is to actually have compiled it.

Would it not make sense to have the passphrase field greyed out until a passphrase is required?

Regardless I was able to decompile my EXE files. Some method of knowing if a passphrase is required would be ideal.

Thanks!

No. The point of decompiling is not mainly targeted for sake of ease, or in particular for you.

The main reason there is no method of knowing if there is a passphrase, is because if there IS a passphrase, they might not want you in it.

There is no point. First... try to decompile it without one. If it works, then theres no passphrase, if it doesn't, there is one. Simple method.

Decompiling is not somthing done very commonly. Usually you have the source infront of you.
