Trial is not working or throws exception 0xC0000005

[seba.netventure]

Hello, I am adding the trial feature to a product of mine but I am having issues.

I made a small project in order to keep it simple and I've attached it.

The project code only implements the functions in the following guide:
https://www.advancedinstaller.com/user- ... using.html

and just tries to invoke

Code: Select all

int main()
{
	std::cout << "Hello World!\n";

	int ret = DisplayRegistrationDlg(kLibraryKey, NULL);

	std::cout << "Goodbye World!\n";

	if (ret == -1)
		exit(0);
}

Then, after the build, I've created an installer, which is included in the zip, and I've created a new trial and I've set the library key in my code.
Then I've built it, created the installer and installed everything. If I run the program, what I get is

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files\Begué\LicenseTest> .\LicenseTest.exe
Hello World!
Missing Trial DLL
Goodbye World!

Which mean that it's not even loading the lib, even if it's located in the same folder.

Can you please guide me?

I was referencing the wrong DLL file. I've started using the x86 dll and everything works.

The hard thing to understand, thought, is how to debug it.

Sorry.
