Hacking ctrclient.exe = Windows / Runtime requirement

[StriderVM]

I just tried running ctrclient.exe using the batch file and it seems it doesn't work in my laptop. It spews out the error "ctrclient32.exe" is not a valid Win32 Application.

This happens on the laptop that has Windows XP professional 32-bit.

It is running fine on my Desktop which runs on Windows 7 64-bit though.

So I'm curious about it. Does the ctrclient.exe require any specific kind of Windows or runtime?

Does it require the .NET framework to be installed?

 

[leerz]

i think it needs visual c++ runtime files.

I'm pretty sure it's a 64-bit application.

i encountered that problem before, just install the c++ runtime(32 first then also install 64x if youre using 64bit from MS and you should be fine. cheers !

works or not on 32bit?

ctrclient.exe is 32 bit. You just need the c++ runtime.

i have windows xp 32bit in virtual machine w/ runtime installed, but i have the same error!

Use the Visual C redistributable package available from Microsoft, that will fix your error.

no man, in windows xp 32 the error remains. now i'll try on w7

it's not a 32 bit program.
or it can be, but need to be compiled on Windows XP.
But the released tools are 64bit compiled only.

It is 32 bit

The problem is that XP does not include the latest Visual C++ runtime

It still doesn't work and tell me it's not a valid win32 application.
I have the redistributable c++ runtime libraries installed (I even have few versions)
2008 v09.0.21022
2010 v10.0.30319
2013 v12.0.21005
Maybe there's a new release (12.0 seems to be the latest, but I don't know if there are new minor revisions)

Or maybe it's a 32bit application but not meant to be launched on a 32bit OS
or there are functions available only on win7 but coded as 32bit... win7 32bit only, not XP

It works on 32 bit Wine (on a 32 bit OS), so I assume it works on 32 bit Windows as well.
If it still doesn't work for you even with msvc installed, then you could try running it in Wine (using Cygwin or andLinux).
We don't have the source code

I think the tool is not compiled to be launched on XP.
As they dropped XP supports, if users compile with latest version of visual C++ it just doesn't work on XP anymore. (maybe they block it on purpose)

Can't we compile with GCC?

on google I find comment like this : "ctrclient esta compilado con VS2012 y NO soporta Windows XP"
or
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13130713/how-to-compile-for-win-xp-with-visual-studio-2012
(an update has been released to allow compiling programs to be run on XP, but it needs setup to allow this)

As this is a leaked program, unfortunately no source code is available

In my experience, a critical error popup dialog box saying "... is not a valid Win32 Application." usually means your computer is using a lower version of .net than the application was compiled to use.

This assumes it's a .net program of course.

It's actually a fork of this C program: https://github.com/neimod/ctr/tree/master/ramtracer/ctrclient

it needs to be compiled with VS 2012 using this setup:

dev didn't bother as it wasn't meant to be released.

the fbi guy dev... release a program called socks for send cia over the network.. can be used? or work only after FBI installation? lot of people claim about legal cia installer... where is the firts cia installer? and why i get the error code: 9becc (i not remember its common error)
