Hi avi_re,

This is happening for .NET programs. If your program uses Enigma API, then it also requires enigma_ide.dll. You may take this dll from Enigma Protector installation folder and copy it to the same folded with your compiled exe. Then, your compiled program will run well. Enigma_ide.dll is used in debugging purpose only!

Note, after you protect this exe file, it won't require enigma_ide.dll at all.

Anyway, just protect the file and error will be gone.

Some particular application also requires to be compiled with CPU = x86 (instead of Any CPU that is enabled by default).

But the message says exactly that module can't be found, this proves that the file is not copied to exe folder, or there is some another problem.

Note, this is not a problem, this is normal program behavior. You have to protect the file, and it will be working well.

If you want to run file unprotected, then you will need to copy file enigma_ide.dll in the same folder with the executable.
