Entry Point Not Found

[gpakosz]

Just tried to launch Very Sleepy CS on Windows 8.1 64bit.

I'm getting an error dialog saying:

The procedure entry point SetCheckUserInterruptShared could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\dbgeng.dll

Oddly enough, verysleepy_0_82.exe from which you forked works.

That would be caused by the dbgeng dependency, which we need for late symbol lookup.

Can you check where exactly the problem is with Dependency Walker?

[gpakosz]

Looks like so, I emailed you the Dependency Walker output file.

[CyberShadow]

Thanks! That makes the problem obvious: we load the system dbgeng, which then tries to load dbghelp, but instead of loading the system one, it's loading Sleepy's version, which is too old for the system dbgeng.

So the fix would be to update the dbghelp included with Sleepy. A workaround that would probably work would be to just delete Sleepy's dbghelp.dll.

Removing Sleepy's dbghelp.dll works around the problem indeed. Should I also remove dbghelpw.dll and dbghelpw_wow64.dll?

[CyberShadow]

Nope, that won't be necessary, as those have nonstandard names and thus can't conflict with system DLLs.

[gpakosz]

Alright. Thank you for the quick feedback. Appreciated.

It looks like I had already fixed this problem in the then-upcoming v0.90 (by renaming our dbghelp.dll to dbghelpms.dll) by the time this issue was opened (commit c4b9a50). I must have forgotten that I fixed it. I'm guessing you were using v0.83, which still had the problem.

Please try the latest version, and feel free to reopen if this problem occurs again.
