The software developed by running windows 3.1 cannot be opened

[SkillGodAk]

He can install it successfully with winevdm, but the software cannot be opened after the installation is complete
Hope it helps to understand what is happening as it works successfully on Win10 x86

This is cracked software
Shouldn't need a dongle
My built-in NTVDM on WIN10 X86 can run
But X64 can't run

[cracyc]

Try the development version and make a trace with that if it doesn't work.

[SkillGodAk]

Try the development version and make a trace with that if it doesn't work.

The latest version is still the same, I have attached the Trace
Trace.txt

[cracyc]

Your trace is similar to the one in #1265 (comment) starting at line 142422 so I know that the program can work. There's nothing in the trace that shows what is going wrong though.

[SkillGodAk]

I tried to change the vdmdosver in otvdm.ini to 5.50, still the same error as the screenshot sent to you at the beginning
My program is placed in MEGA, help me to see where the problem lies
The program to run is CAS_WIN.exe

The successful operation should be like the photo

The crack files need to be in the winevdm windows\system directory.

[SkillGodAk]

Can you run the program I uploaded?
I put the otvdm crack file in the system directory and a new error occurred
I will upload the error screenshot and Trace

Trace.txt

[cracyc]

From that package:

2.Copy "enr-chs.dll" and "haspcode.dat" and "national.dll" in the CRACK package to the system folder in the system root directory.

After putting those into the winevdm windows\system directory the program works for me.

[SkillGodAk]

Could it be an operating system language issue?
My operating system is Chinese, but it keeps showing that Chinese cannot be found
But it can be executed normally on win10 x86 Chinese system
Because I am sure program that puts winevdm in the windows\system directory

[cracyc]

My operating system is Chinese, but it keeps showing that Chinese cannot be found

"Plug not Found" is the same error I get when I didn't have the crack files in the correct location. I need a trace like the first one you posted. The one in #1308 (comment) doesn't include the relay.

[SkillGodAk]

This is a new track error, please take a look
Sorry to keep bothering you

The earlier one shows it looking for system.ini in the correct location, the newer one is wrong. You must have broken something somewhere. Check the WINDIR in your otvdm.ini file.

[SkillGodAk]

The strange thing is that I didn't touch the otvdm.ini file in WINDIR, but I put otvdm back on the desktop and executed it again, and the error in your screenshot disappeared again.

However, put OTVDM in C:\Windows\System\otvdm-master-2441 and execute it, it will automatically generate WINDOWS\system behind otvdm-master-2441
I tried to add the crack file and the new OTVDM to its auto-generated root directory, no error popped up, but the program did not execute

Put winevdm in C:\Users\SkillGodAk\Desktop\otvdm-master-2441\ and the crack files in C:\Users\SkillGodAk\Desktop\otvdm-master-2441\WINDOWS\system . Winevdm cannot be put in C;\windows\system, it will not work.

[SkillGodAk]

Finally succeeded, it turned out that I misplaced it
But the opening speed is very slow, is this normal?

[cracyc]

EnumFontLimitation=1 in otvdm.ini make it a lot faster but if you need all the fonts available then that won't help.

[SkillGodAk]

I have tried to run with whpx vm
Some time has been shortened, but there is still a gap between the opening speed of Microsoft's NTVDM
But it's great news that it can run on X64
Thank you for spending so much time helping me
I hope that the opening speed of the later updated version can be improved

[cracyc]

Since the problem is fixed you can close this report.
