A little history before I go to the real deal

Today I downloaded some utility to decompile .swf files, wanted to check how good it is. Well, surprise - "General extraction error", it seems armadillo protected. I'm not really into unprotecting, but things like program not functioning with SoftICE even INSTALLED, not running, REALLY PISSES ME OFF! I use sice often and won't f**k with uninstaling it to test some shitty app. "OK, let's load IceEXT and see", I thought. Turned !protect on and launched the app. Whoops.. BSOD ;]

I don't want to dig inside this stinking piece of software, I'm only writing this to help improve IceEXT (as with my previous report with DX problems).
I'm inluding winice's start log & windbg's crashdump analysis (in 1 file, seems that can post only one attachment). Hope this helps somewhat

I don't know about the IceExt issue, but

- your softice serial is in your report txt file.

- The SoftICE check is most likely just a registry / OpenService / EnumServicesStatus call.

I would vote for OpenService, but nikolatesla20 would know better.

Howdy,

I removed the file. Clean it and upload it again.

Nice example of what man can do in a hurry <smashes the table with his head ;>

Newer Arma's also look for IceExt service key in the registry, thats why Sten's installer let's you choose different names for the iceext service
