Hello I'm need to get ollydbg to work on Windows Pro x64 Edition. Does anyone have any information or a resolution on this subject? Im not trying to debug a 64 bit program just a 32 bit program.

If you had actually read the FAQ, as it says in your signature, you would know that you need to tell US what YOU have already done to attempt to solve YOUR problem. This is not a school for those too lazy to have attempted to solve their own problem. If you have already read the FAQ, you did not say so and if you did ANYTHING to try to solve this issue yourself, you have NOT said so.

So what did YOU do to try to find an answer?? Make sure you answer this question before you ask again for help!

Regards

I think it may have to do with the api. I googled around. Nothing! I dont know if i was using bad keywords or what but i got irrelevent info and i also searched these forums. I tried setting olldbg and the program to run in compatiblity mode for windows xp and 2000. I looked through all of olldbgs settings. I even tried setting set the affinity. I did much more All my attempts have failed.

AFAIK Olly is specific for 32 bit working environment. Cannot do 16 bit, cannot do 64. If you have ever tried to debug a 16 bit app in a 32 bit environment you would understand the problem.
Oleh himself was pondering if writing the 2.0 version of his debugger was justified because the danger of short life/premature obsolecense.

32 bit app in x64 run in WOW 64 simulation machines (Virtual machines), so Olly, a 32 bit app working in an instance of WOW cannot seamlessly communicate and control another 32 bit application, which is loaded in a different WOW instance.

The last edition of compuware driverstudio CLAIMED it supported a 64 bit debugger, but I could not even make it install much less run in my x64 system.

So Unless Olly or a clone of Olly is ported to 64 environment, we are stuck.

Thanks much, dude. Ill have to find another debugger.

I think the simplest solutions to your problem are:

Install 32 bit winXP in a different partition, with Olly and your tools included, do your RCE there. I know for a fact that the "fixes" you do in a 32 bit environment work fine in a x64 machine runing your 32 bit apps.

An alternative approach, which I have not tried yet, but I am getting ready to do, is to install VMware in your x64 system, then run a virtual machine with WinXP 32 installed. VMware 5.5 claims to work semlessly in x64 system hosts, and you can choose a 32 or a x64 cpu as the guest system. Do what you need to do in the winXP 32 bit guest system: Olly and even SoftIce work great in this configuration.

Unleash the power of your 64 CPU. . .

Well im using ida now but its so bloated, but at least it works. :/ If i had enough space on my hd i would partition. Well i though about vmware but never got around. I'll get around to trying vmware though. Thanks (:
