AdmiralDebilitate is a tool for removing .NET strong name signing, particularly suited for large projects consisting of multiple nested dependencies. The interface is fairly simple: open up all relevant executables simultaneously (or all PEs if late-binding is in use) and ‘mark’ those that are to be modified. AdmiralDebilitate will determine the minimal area of the dependency tree that requires fixing and execute things appropriately. Any mismatching references will be listed in the ‘Problem Areas’ pane. Please report any bugs, after reading the following list of notes and caveats:

* All dependencies on mscorlib and System.* are ignored. I don’t see why this should be a problem, but bear it in mind if something isn’t working.
* Only exe and dll files are supported.
* The tool searches only the current folder for DLLs referenced by the seeding assemblies. If the system is relying on environment variables being set or suchlike, then AdmiralDebilitate will probably fail to load all the assemblies. A workaround is to temporarily place all the files in the same directory.

Thanks go out to Dan Pistelli, without whose .NET specification this wouldn’t have happened.


Thanks to whoknows for the link to this tool

Created by a member of this board, and already in the CRCETL (http://www.woodmann.com/collaborative/tools/AdmiralDebilitate), but still thanks for the tip, we always appreciate it.

Don't be sorry! Someone is sure to find it useful and might not have noticed it in the CRCETL.

It doesn't hurt to search there before you post, but we are always getting new items posted here which are then added to the CRCETL. Also a post might provide more useful information that the somewhat cryptic notes in the CRCETL.

Just like JMI (and myself) say above, we always appreciate tips about good tools, so no problem at all Kurapica, just keep 'em coming! I just wanted to take the chance to make people aware of the vast library of tools already available in the CRCETL, that's all.
