Exit 1 when calling mono_jit_init - c++

Hi, I try to embed mono in a c++ application on windows. I followed http://www.mono-project.com/docs/compiling-mono/windows/ and I have my headers, lib and dll built for win64.
I wrote a simple app that just calls
MonoDomain *domain;
domain = mono_jit_init("ConsoleApplication1.exe");
Everything builds and link find but when I run my program, I can break and step until the mono_jit_init call. Then the apps performs an exit1 and I can't see what's wrong.
I tried both release and debug.
Any ideas on how to find the issue? Properly embed mono?
Thanks, JNQ

Your application probably fails on loading Mono libraries.
You can use Process Monitor (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/procmon) to find out what exactly fails for you:
Run Process Monitor
Set Process Monitor filter to "[Process Name] [is] [Your process name, e.g. ConsoleApplication1.exe] then [Include]"
Run you program and lookup for "CreateFile" operations with "NAME NOT FOUND" Result and see Path column to find out what file is missing
In my case it was a failure on loading mono mscorlib.dll from lib\mono\4.5\mscorlib.dll so copying the files from the Mono installation to the path pointed by Process Monitor has helped.

WDK 10 - Rpcrt4.dll - System Error 2

I have been working with WDK 10 and I have added rpcrt4.lib into the Linker. My driver has been successfully built. When I try to run the driver using command net start mydriver. I get system error 2 message. I tried using dependency walker but I don't see any dll file missing. When I remove the rpcrt4.lib from the Additional Dependencies, I am able to run the driver without any problem. But when I add rpcrt4.lib, it build successfully but on writing net start mydriver it gives system error 2. I need rpcrt4.lib as I am using a function UuidCreate.
I have been working on this issue for last 1 week, but did not find anything.
Thanks
Rpcrt4.dll is user mode dll and can not be used in kernel space. of course your driver is fail load with code STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND (which mapped to win32 error ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND (2) ) - system search registration of Rpcrt4.dll under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services and not found
for create uuid in kernel mode you need use ExUuidCreate

0xc000007b Error : how to analyze using Process Monitor

Another error at startup of my basic app which only tests my DLL (the core deliverable of my project) by calling its init method. I have analysed what happens using Process Monitor, and filtered according to process name, looking only for events related with my the main executable of my basic app.
What should I be looking for there ? I guess anything that says SUCCESS in the result column does not point to the problem - but what about the rest ? It seems to be looking for my DLL all over the world although it first tried in the current directory and found it there already ...
An excerpt here, saved from ProcMon in CSV format : http://pastebin.com/YHSeQUk0
As I said it tries to open my DLL in many places (following my PATH environment variable ?). When looking for it in the correct folder (which is the same as where the exe is located and running) it goes through a series of actions which mostly end up in SUCCESS (if not otherwise specified):
IRP_MJ_CREATE
IRP_MJ_CLEANUP
IRP_MJ_CLOSE
IRP_MJ_CREATE
FASTIO_ACQUIRE_FOR_SECTION_SYNCHRONIZATION (result is : FILE LOCKED
WITH ONLY READERS)
FASTIO_ACQUIRE_FOR_CC_FLUSH
FASTIO_ACQUIRE_FOR_SECTION_SYNCHRONIZATION (result is SUCCESS)
FASTIO_ACQUIRE_FOR_CC_FLUSH
It does all of this a second time later. To me this looks ok. No other DLL-related event show up.
There is this other event at the top :
RegOpenKey in HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Srp\GP\DLL which first results in REPARSE and then in NAME NOT FOUND. But many things happen afterwards, this doesn't look like a blocking point - and anyhow no clue what this is about.
dumpbin /dependents ConsoleApplication1.exe yields the following :
File Type: EXECUTABLE IMAGE
Image has the following dependencies:
uss_map_interface.dll
VCRUNTIME140.dll
api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll
api-ms-win-crt-math-l1-1-0.dll
api-ms-win-crt-stdio-l1-1-0.dll
api-ms-win-crt-locale-l1-1-0.dll
api-ms-win-crt-heap-l1-1-0.dll
KERNEL32.dll
The first one is my dll. If I remove it the message at startup turns into "uss_map_interface.dll is missing from your computer" - so I cannot believe this woukld be related to my DLL ... all the other I found in Windows/System32 or SysWOW64.
I am compiling both my DLL and the test basic app with MVS Express 2015 (v140) with x64 configs. The problem also appears if I change to x86 configs. The funny thing also is that if I compile my DLL with MinGW in a Qt project - it works fine. If that can provide a hint, here follow the dependencies of the Qz/MinGW-compiled version :
File Type: DLL
Image has the following dependencies:
libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll
KERNEL32.dll
msvcrt.dll
libstdc++-6.dll
Anyhow, thanks in advance !

Exe built using pyinstaller on a Django with pylucene app giving JVM error

I am getting an error:
"Error occurred during initialization of VM
Unable to load native library: Can't find dependent libraries"
The error arises when I try to execute my exe file.
I have created exe file through pyinstaller on a django application. Application uses pylucine library. I think it may be the issue of error.
How to fix the error?
Since I can't be certain given you've provided very few details here is a shot in the dark to help solve your problem:
First, try removing the jvm.dll file that gets packaged with the pyinstaller -D youmodule.py command (for now work with the directory command rather than -F option). The reason why is here.
With that jvm.dll file gone, you should start seeing the actual error code - and with that the java class or dependency that isn't being loaded.
If it's a java class that isn't being properly loaded then you know instantly it must not be correcly represented in the classpath environment variable and you should do everything in your power to make sure it is:
e.g.: os.environ['CLASSPATH'] += 'the/path/to/the/jar'
Otherwise, consider bulking up your question with more details, especially if you can get a more meaningful error output.
I had the same error trying to run a .exe built with PyInstaller through wine.
My problem went away by adding C:\Program Files\Java\ [your jdk version here] \jre\bin\server to the PATH environment variable in wine - I suppose it might be the same in Windows.
It also reappeared if I tried to build with C:\Program Files\Java\ [your jdk version here] \jre\bin\server in my PATH, so I had to build without it and then append it before running it (I have no explanation as to why this happens).

Qt Creator - Code is running but I get an error message from the IDE

As soon as I run my code (note that I'm using C only, no QT and no C++) I get the following message from the application output inside the IDE:
Cannot obtain a handle to the inferior: The parameter is incorrect.
When I delete the makefiles and debug/release folders it's running but after some time I still get the error. It's not that much of a problem though, the code runs and everything is fine but this error pops up and it's quite annoying.
The content of the .pro file is:
TEMPLATE = app
CONFIG += console
CONFIG -= app_bundle
CONFIG -= qt
QMAKE_CC = gcc -std=c99
SOURCES += main.c
Thanks in advance!
edit: I have added C++ tag, because this error occurs also for C++ console application as in my case.
I have met same problem. Tips and advices on forums are rather clueless, so I investigated problem myself and I have found that it's a bug in QtCreator.
There is dirty little program called qtcreator_process_stub. Whenever you run your program within IDE, IDE first runs qtcreator_process_stub and passes your program name as parameter (among some other parameters). qtcreator_process_stub then starts your program as separate process and prints its PID (and on windows also thread id). Information is printed to the pipe and then it is read by ConsoleProcess::readStubOutput(), which is part of Utils.dll library used by QtCreator.
The problem occurs when "inferior" process (your application) finishes execution before whole communication has been processed. ConsoleProcess::readStubOutput() attempts to use OpenProcess() on non-existing process with closed handle. OpenProcess() fails hence error "Cannot obtain a handle to the inferior: The parameter is incorrect.". Whole error is not handled very gently (Uhm, and now what?)... :-/
Solution:
When you add some user input action, pause, sleep, delay or just some loops, so that execution of your application is a bit longer error vanishes. There is enough time for ConsoleProcess::readStubOutput() to execute OpenProcess(), before your application quits. So as a workaroud I suggest to do that until the bug is fixed.
I got the same error repeatedly while working on a C++ project in Qt. I was able to solve it by copying one of the shared libraries(.dll) I was using in to the build folder.
So, if you are using any shared external libraries that are needed at runtime, make sure they are in the builds folder.

Firebreath plugin on windows fails to load in chrome

I am busy converting by existing firebreath plugin here to use gpgme instead of making calls via the OS and the gpg binary.
I have managed to get the code to compile in windows using VS 2010 on a x32 system but after loading the plugin into chrome I can not access the npapi code at all. Even simple version calls fails.
When loading the plugin I get no visible errors but when using sawbuck log viewer for chrome I get the erorr messages below.
.\renderer\webplugin_delegate_proxy.cc 347 PluginMsg_Init returned false
..\plugins\npapi\webplugin_impl.cc 271 Couldn't initialize plug-in
I have tried to use my code with both firebreath 1.4 and 1.6 and neither versions work. After some simple debugging it seems that using any code provided by gpgme (whether its called or not) causes the plugin to break.
I came to this conclusion by doing the following.
Created a new project with firebreath (versions 1.4 and 1.6)
Add the gpgme.h headers to gmailGPGAPI.cpp and changed nothing else aside from adding the required reference paths to the project.
Build the project to create the dll (this generates the dll fine).
Replace the existing ddl in my project with the dll in step 2 and test it with the following piece of code
plugin = document.createElement('object'); plugin.id = 'plugin';
plugin.type = 'application/x-gmailtest';
document.body.appendChild(plugin);
console.log("my plugin returned: "+ plugin.valid);
console.log("my plugin returned: " + plugin.version);
This returns valid = true and the version returns what ever i set it to.
I then modified gmailGPGAPI.cpp to now return the gpg version by calling gpgme_check_version(NULL) in the version method. I used that method because its probably the simplest returning function that I could test with.
Build the plugin and copy dll to chrome extension as in step 3-4. The plugin builds fine again as expected.
Load the plugin and try to execute the code in step 4 at which point it now just returns undefined for any property or method i try to access on the plugin. No errors are printed to the console or anywhere else in chrome except for the error logged to sawbuck.
I have got no idea where to look or what to try since I cant seem to get an actionable error to work against. I have also reduced by test code to the point where its just a new project with a one line change to make it easier to find the problem.
I should note the code in the repo builds fine in linux/OSX and loads into chrome correctly so I know at some level my code does work.
Two possible paths:
You may have a DLL dependency that isn't available which keeps the plugin from loading; if you run regsvr32 on it in the state where it doesn't work on chrome, does it work?
Your plugin may be loading and then crashing. Start chrome with --plugin-startup-dialog and then when it pops up a dialog warning you that a plugin is about to be loaded attach to that process and see if the process crashes. At this point you can also set breakpoints to try to figure out how far it gets.
Double check your metadata in PluginConfig.cmake as well; sometimes unusual characters in some fields can cause issues like this.
