TT32Test64.exe reports CreateProcess(FWPCUtil) failed; rc=14001

[baumundberg]

Hi,

I am trying to get the virtual TCP/IP adapter running on a Windows Server 2008 64-bit system. Every WinPcap-installation from 4.0 to 4.1.1 seems to work fine as the net group packet filter is running after starting TT32Test64.exe.
This is the TT32Test64.exe output:

16:26:44.948 ** CFishPackApp::FishPackGetWinPCapInfo: CreateProcess(FWPCUtil) failed; rc=14001 (0x000036B1):

I copied all the DLLs (FishLib64.dll, FishPack64.dll, TunTap64.dll into Windows\System32 folder.

When executing the "FWPCUtil.exe" in the Windows\System32 folder the following message appears:
"The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log for more detail"
The application event log comes up with this:

Please have a look at my information. Please tell me what do you think about these error messages? Do you have any idea what is missing or wrong? Thank you very much.

Please don't do that.

Instead, create a private 'bin' directory somewhere (or perhaps a private
'ctciw32' or 'softdevlabs' directory, etc) and place your files in there.
Then add that directory to your Windows search PATH environment variable.

That way you can easily remove that directory from your PATH whenever you
need to (which you WILL need to do once my new software is released).

Otherwise you will have to manually find all of the individual components
(FishLib64.dll, FishPack64.dll, TunTap64.dll, etc) in your Windows system32
directory and remove them from there.

Besides, the Windows system32 is a SYSTEM directory that should technically
only contain Microsoft components that come with the operating system. My
software doesn't qualify.

But that's NOT your problem.  :)

The official 3.06 release of Hercules you are running:

   "Built on Jan 10 2009"
   "Win32 (MSVC) build"

is only a 32-bit version.

You are trying to run a 32-bit version of Hercules on 64-bit Windows.

While this is entirely possible it is NOT recommended. Instead, we recommend
that you run a 64-bit version of Hercules instead.

64-bit versions of Hercules (which are NOT official releases per se (yet))
can be downloaded from our "daily" development snapshot web site at:

  http://www.ivansoftware.com/snapshots/snapshots/


But wait! There's more! :)

Even if you run one of the above 64-bit versions of Hercules, things STILL
aren't going to work right because you'll still be missing the needed
Microsoft redistributables.

You see, here's the thing: on 64-bit Windows you CAN (if you want) still run
32-bit software, but that 32-bit software is STILL going to need all of the
compnents it would normally need. Such as, say, the 32-bit version of
Microsoft's redistributable DLLs.

You installed the 64-bit version of Microsoft's redistributables:

  "Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 ATL Update kb973923 - x64 8.0.50727.4053"

but did you install the 32-bit x86 version as well? No. You did not.

THAT is why you're getting your errors: you're trying to run 32-bit software
without the needed 32-bit redistributables.

Download and install the 32-bit (x86) version of that same "Microsoft Visual
C++ 2005 ATL Update" redistributable.


NOW....


After installing the above mentioned 32-bit Microsoft redistributable you
SHOULD, as I said, be able to then run any 32-bit software. But the question
remains, why?

I recommend running the 64-bit version of Windows and the 64-bit version of
all of my software.

HOWEVER...

You need to be aware of one VERY IMPORTANT THING about the current version
of my CTCI-W32 Hercules networking package: it also requires the 32-bit
Microsoft redistributables too!

SO....

The rule is: on 64-bit Windows you should ALWAYS install BOTH the 64-bit
*AND* the 32-bit version of Microsoft's redistributables package too! You
need to always install BOTH of them. The 64-bit redistributables *AND* the
32-bit redistributables.

My "FWPCUtil" program -- which my CTCI-WIN package calls to communicate with
WinPCap -- is a 32-bit program not a 64-bit program (the technical reasons
for which I won't get into right now), and thus requires the 32-bit
Microsoft redistributables to be installed.

And since you didn't have the 32-bit Microsoft redistributables installed,
that's why it was failing.


  ------------------------------
  SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTIONS
  ------------------------------

1. Download and install the "x86" (32-bit) version of Microsoft's
redistributables:

  http://tinyurl.com/yepzp49


2. Download and install a 64-bit version of Hercules:

  http://www.ivansoftware.com/snapshots/snapshots/W64/


3. Try again. :)




These types of problem should hopefully go away as soon as we have a proper
Windows installer in place (which we unfortunately don't yet).
