I'm working in WinXP and 32-bit processor. upx can compress c++'s .exe well but cannot work correctly for D's .exe.

When I try to use upx to compress D's .exe , it throws "file is prossible packed/protected" exception.

Can anyone explain this?

Thanks very much.

It's a bug in upx. D's exe files are correct, compliant PE executables.

Upx 1.92 beta works if you --force it.

This should be a bug in the windows version of upx, or maybe DMD... since under Linux is working right. Try asking upx people


Byez!

This is a bug in UPX.  I reported it to UPX user's forum 10+ days ago.

Simply use --force doesn't work.  Compressed .exe doesn't work correctly. "Vathix" <vathix@dprogramming.com> wrote in message news:opsky9srz6kcck4r@tc3-ppp223.dialup.wzrd.com...
