Hi DevTeam,

I tried to protect one Vulcan app compiled with X#.
I am using .NET Reactor. When I try to specify the Main assembly (EXE), the attached error appears.

Hi George,

A google search shows a lot of hits for that, also with c# apps. For example:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3504 ... et-reactor

Are you using the latest Reactor version? Some posts suggest that a newer version fixes this problem. Also please try deleting the .pdb files of your app before using Reactor, as suggested in the above link, does it work this way?

Hi Chris,

yes, I deleted the .pdb file and the Reactor opened the project correctly.
But, why that no happens with the Vulcan generated EXE ?

George

Hi George,

That's because vulcan is an outdated compiler

The x# compiler shares the same backend with a very recent version of the c# compiler (Roslyn), which emits much more sophisticated code/pdb information than vulcan does. It looks like Reactor cannot (yet?) properly "understand" some of this symbol information.

Chris,

>That's because vulcan is an outdated compiler

You are right.
The .Net Reactor's version is the old 4.0.
I will upgrade it to 4.9 or (I see it now) in 5.0.

thank you
George
