this programm isn't crypted, the author use UPX 1.25 to compress it.

if you find a way (or software) to uncompress it, you will be able to translate it.

@ReD

just tried it and see result below

upx: SCDWriter.exe: CantUnpackException: cannot unpack UPX ;-)

you need SoftIce, Procdump and FileScanner to successfully expand it (unpack it into ram and dump it from memory to disk)

there's a tutorial on it on the web.

Red, SoftIce is good idea for this
Good mind and right hands - that's all.
Open in hex-editor, goto offset 3E4, replace FF to 0C, save and unpack with UPX:)
But resourses are crypted, i see this in PE Explorer as HEX code. If i open exe in HEX (Workshop), i also cannot see any phrases.

PS. If you can dump it, see size of dumped image. Size ~7Mbytes

With due respect, unpacking is easy - the file resources ARE encrypted.

You can download the unpacked, but encrypted version 1.3.3.401 HERE

this is 1.31 we are working on 1.33, may be things are different, no?

BTW, for utilities like this one which does not have any installation requirements, the easiest way to install is simply to add the .exe to \BIN directory. \BIN is already in the path by default. So you can start the utitlity from commad line, or from a browser by clicking on the utility icon -- no need for any plugin.

Now aviable 1.33 version. Changes sinces 1.31 - added ability to create ISO from inserted CD. More memory usage...
@ReD: No, pack/protection in 1.31 and 1.33 are identical.

I Repeat, If anyone can decrypt resourses, i can translate program in 1-2 days

you may be hav a look here:
http://biw.rult.at/tuts/upx.htm

this way you might have the ressources decrypted.

If you dont know about reversing ;just change FFh byte after UPX! to 0Ch with hex editor of your choise and download upx from upx.sourceforge.net.Then unpack exe with upx -d packed.exe and you have virgin executable.

This little program seems to be a great piece of work - but the latest version 1.33 is still only available in russian which I can't display nor read

Has anyone solved the encryption-problem and translated it into english (or maybe german)?

If I had the english version I could translate it into german...

Best regards

cool400

this is some plugin, why dont u guys try ultraiso

UltraISO is shareware, and in SCDW yoy don't need make iso firstly, write directly to CD. I wait new version with correctly working DVD recording...

Small CD Writer Plugin needs aspi though

we need to get the newest version

get it here

http://home.earthlink.net/~1.414213563/fil...s/SCDWriter.exe

works fine but am a bit lost getting it to work with Bart PE

any help?

OK, confused. did the bartPE with WinXP SP2 boot system from CDROM and when i go to my programs group the SCDWriter is greyed out or inaccessible? did I do something wrong? ASPI is enabled, the exe is located in the \files folder. My version for SCDWriter is 1.3 english here is the inf:

Did you just say yours is 1.3 english version? Where did you get the 1.3 english from?

anyone translated v 1.33 yet

@powaking

I believe he means version 1.03

i successfully unencrypt and unpack the latest version so it is ready to be traduced if someone wants to.

shame on me.

If the prog is REALLY unpacked and some ressources are unencrypted (strings), the forms are still scrambled. i apologize for the false hope with that "too fast conclusion" and go on searching for a solution !

PS hope that people who had worked on the prog i sent will kindly not kill me
i really feel ashamed... and will never be as that optimisitic

anyone translated v 1.33 yet

Bump:

English translation please?....


PRETTY please??...



Shoulda been more specific:

English translation of v. 1.33, please?....


PRETTY please??...

(sorry, my bad...)

Translation v.1.33 is not possible at this moment, because we can't decrypt resourses.

For what it's worth, here's a list of most menu items in English.

Love the program, but i got tired of waiting for an english update, so i found a new fav. Check out the 'Other Tools' section of ghosthunters freeware site. I'm now using CD/DVD burning on my disk and love it. To be totally honest, though, I havent used it under PE yet. Give it or one of the other options a try and tell us what you think.

mhh it is more complicated than we thought

Turns out the file had a modification to UPX header via hex. I was able to fix it and unpack it but im not sure if it can be translated. i think digiwiz should know how to translate it
