Hi. Could you please send me a sample ISO that does not mount with WinCDEmu 3.6?
Please send an e-mail to ivan {at} sysprogs org. I will provide you with a temporary FTP login/password so that you could upload your files to me.The general problem with mounting compressed files is that you normally cannot peek a chunk of data from the middle of a file (or even the entire archive if it’s a solid archive) without decompressing the preceeding data.
I.e. mounting a 4GB iso is instantaneous and does not consume any additional space, but mounting a 4 GB 7z archive would take ~10 minutes to decompress is completely.
I am thinking of adding support for compressed ISO images, but I would need to modify one of the common compression algorithms to accomplish that. As for automatic decompressing of the archives into a temporary directory, you could write a simple script to do that (and clean up the directory after reboot), you don’t need any special tools for that.It is generally possible, but you would need to hack VirtualKD code for that. I could give you more details if you’re interested.
You can create the dump file by opening Task Manager, finding the error message, selecting “switch to process” from the context menu and finally right-clicking on the process (should be devenv.exe) and selecting “create dump file”.
Seems to be a WinCDEmu bug. Can also be some weird incompatibility issue. Could you please create a dump file and send it to me?
Oops. Copying both to system32 was a bad idea. WinDBG uses some very special version of dbghelp.dll that is incompatible with most other clients.
Please restore the original versions and specify the debugging tools location in VisualDDK properties. VIsualDDK will automatically use the correct versions.In fact, I’m travelling around till August and only checking my messages once or twice per day. I assume, somewhat in the August I will probably have some time. But definitely not before. If you have good C++ background, I could show you what to hack in WinCDEmu sources to add this feature.
It can be also implemented by adding a small change to WinCDEmu driver. I’ll consider it in the future versions.
Did you run VisualDDK monitor on the virtual machine? Are you sure the firewall is not blocking the port?
You need to open project settings and set the “output file name” there. VisualDDK uses it to find which driver to load.
