Hello, this is my first post here. Rest assured i have read and comprehented the rules. Warning to the reader: i am a newcomer to the REverse Engineering world. On to my question. There is an Adobe application that i have, which evidently, is protected by Vbox 4.6.2, and thus sports the usuall nag screen.
The version i have is a special, trial one, ie, has some extra features aside being a demo. But i also have the "regular" version, that i have paid for and own. So, investigating the possibility to simply swap the executables, i was faced with a Vbox nag screen when i executed the legal (read: not packed) .exe in the installation directory of the trial version.
My question, and i hope it doesn't sound naive, is, does Vbox only wrap the main executable, or a given set of dll files as well? When one attempts to unpack it, can he count on the numerous how-to guides? Or is there some caveat?
