Cheat Engine

So I wanted to try out W8 only to find out I can't play my favorite games on it. I formatted back to W7 and now I can't inject .dll's. First I thought it was only from the code of my personal injector but then I tried with CE and it says injection fails. I have installed VC++ Express 2010 so I don't think I'm missing any libs.

What are you trying to inject? Some .dlls require .NET Framework(3.5/4.0)

[Luig]

I installed VC++ 2010 which comes with these frameworks. I also tried to inject some freepascal .dll's I made a while back and none work while on my brothers laptop I can inject them perfectly fine.

[Jesper]

What kind of error are you getting when you inject?

[Dark Byte]

Disable UAC

Also, check that your anti virus (if you have one) doesn't block it

Failed to injecting the .dll on CE. On the injector I'm using it errors @

threadHndIntPtr = WINAPI.CreateRemoteThread(hwndIntPtr, Nothing, 0, functAddressIntPtr, functParamIntPtr, 0, 0);

Get last error catches error 5:
errorString = errorString & "Error code: " & Marshal.GetLastWin32Error()

and hmm this is wierd. The error I am getting is only on calc.exe and notepad.exe. Not a huge deal but does anyone know why?

[Dark Byte]

64-bit or 32-bit windows ?

If 64-bit, then calc and notepad are 64-bit processes and 32-bit injection codes don't work on that

ce 6.1 should do dll injection on those fine though

And again: Firewall and/or anti virus can block createRemoteThread on system processes

[Luig]

Thanks DarkByte that clears up alot as I am on a 64bit system but CE 6.1 could not inject into the process.

[Dark Byte]

ah yes, obviously, the injected dll should be 64-bit as well. (speedhack should work as it's a 64-bit dll)
