madConfigDrv.exe can't find it!! MISSING

Post by ilkovn »

I am new to the madCodeHook, i have bought license for it and installed the madCodeHook 3.0, i am working on VS 2010 and as it said in the documentation to be able to hook X64 process you need to configure a driver and that i need madConfigDrv.exe to configure it. Also in some of the examples whe i try to hook something it says ""his is the evaluation version of madcodehook.it works only while "mchEvaluation.exe" is running.", i am guessing this is because i didnt configured the drivers and sign the certificats. But here is the problem i can't find madConfigDrv.exe in directory where i installed it. I intalled it again but without success. I also assume that i will have problems with the signing part but firs the configuration part. I would be very grateful if you can provide it or somehow fix this problem and also if possible to explain how it works because in the documentation isn't explain very well.
Thanks in advance.

Have you followed the installation instructions? It doesn't seem like that to me. Did the installer report that you have a valid license? The installer needs to find your key file, otherwise you won't get the commercial madCodeHook version installed.

Judging by your description it seems that you've installed the madCodeHook v2 evaluation version instead of the madCodeHook v3 commercial version.

Please make sure you follow the installation instructions, which are: Unzip the key file to the same folder the madCollection.exe installer is located in. Then rerun the installer.

The important thing is that the installer needs to show that your key file was detected and that you have a valid commercial license. Here's a screenshot of the installer:

See the small "madshi" text at the right top of the window, under the big "MAD" image? If the installer found your key file, you should find your company name there instead of "madshi". And all packages that your key file contain a license for should be activated by default. If you look at the "madCodeHook 3" button, it's activated (= black) by default, and it reads "commercial source code license for 1 PC". The installer must show something like this. If it does, all is well, and you should get all the proper files installed to your harddisk.
