Running tiny_tracer from the menu prompts: "You'll need a new app to open this .exe file"
lfontesm opened this issue · comments
I've followed the instructions, but whenever I try run an exe file with tiny_tracer i get prompted that i need a new app to open the result. I've tried selecting notepad.exe and instead of tracing the API calls it's dumping the exe
I've made sure my pin install dir is C:\pin, put the compiled dlls in the install32_64 dir, and all
Maybe I'm missing something, but i'm pretty sure i've followed all the steps carefuly.
Cheers!
Btw, I think it's important to note that i was using flare-vm
hi! I suspect it happens because one of the components: kdb_check.exe got flagged by your AV (as the readme says here)
in order to confirm if this is indeed the problem, can you run kdb_check.exe as standalone, and tell me what do you see?
A similar problem was reported in this thread: #12
You can also try replacing the run_me.bat by this one:
and let me know if it fixed the issue.
I was so sure I had disclosed the solution to the issue back then! I'm so sorry to leave you hanging.
Actually came back to this issue because I wanted to read what I had written.
But in short: The issue was all me being very stupid.
It was a typing error by typing "tiny-tracer" with a dash ('-') instead of "tiny_tracer" with an underscore ("_").
Again, so sorry to leave you hanging :(
