OpenProcess + engine.exe?

Hi,

when i use OpenProcess api, it doesn't open engine.exe? it always returns 0..
is there another way to open engine.exe process? like CE opens it correctly..

babel vista translation:
Hallo, wann verwende ich OpenProcess API, es nicht geöffnetes engine.exe? es bringt immer 0. zurück. gibt es eine andere Weise, engine.exe Prozeß zu öffnen? wie CER öffnet es richtig.

Try something like this at the point where you call OpenProcess:

Quote:

HANDLE hProcess; hProcess = OpenProcess(PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS, FALSE, pe32.th32ProcessID ); if( hProcess == NULL ) printError( "OpenProcess" ); else { // ... do something cool here. there was no error opening the process :D }

I found this one at MSDN. Try it. It's a very useful resource with more documentation on the Win-API than you will ever need in your life. ([Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...])

Some quick thoughts: Did you set the access rights right? Do you have a valid process ID to use with OpenProcess?

Oh... and btw. if you (hopefully) read your way through the MSDN be sure to follow their advises like

Quote:

When you are finished with the handle, be sure to close it using the CloseHandle function.

. They know what they are talking about. If you don't follow their advises this can lead to pain-in-the-ass debugging sessions or even an unstable system.

Did i set the access rights right? if you mean by PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS, then yes, if for the
SeDebugPrivilege thing, no.

i double(well more than double) checked the PID of engine.exe...i also tried doing it on other processes and it returns the handle correctly, but for engine.exe, it never opens the process.

Hmm... If you want you could post your code here. It's not easy to find errors without knowing the code. :)

Hi,

i am using autoit to do this..very easy to understand ;)

#Include <Mem.au3>

$PID = = ProcessExists("engine.exe")
$Proc = _MemOpen($PID)
msgbox(0,"engine.exe PHANDLE:",)

i didn't put [code] tags because it will take the variables away :O

autoit wont open the engine.exe
hackshield blocks autoit ... what you need autoit for...
when you learned autoit it shouldn't be hard to code the same macro ring 0 based on delphi c++ ...
search search for the procces and then open the window with the name 'KalOnline' ..
its easy , but wont work with autoit , autoit is craaaaaaaaaap :>

if you like add me on msn/icq.

atm I have no time to come online becouse of Work .. sorry :/
only once a week :/

Hi,

wait..so your telling me hackshield blocks autoit? ok cool...at least i know i'm not doing something wrong :).

Im interessted too in how to open the engine process. It must be possible in a other way then OpenProcess cause Revolution Engine can open it too.

oh^^ sry :p
