CS Demo Manager Unable to Recognize HLAE Executable “invalid hlae executable” #959

Closed alazeria closed 3 weeks ago

alazeria commented 3 weeks ago

Describe the bug

I am encountering an issue while using CS Demo Manager, where I am aiming to optimize my workflow by generating videos automatically instead of manual recordings. To achieve this, I installed HLAE (specifically version 2.175, downloaded from GitHub). However, when attempting to specify the location of HLAE.exe in the settings of CS Demo Manager, I receive an error message: "invalid hlae executable".

To troubleshoot this issue, I have taken the following steps:

Reinstalled HLAE: I re-downloaded the HLAE 2.175 release and installed it according to the instructions, but the problem persists. Used CS Demo Manager's Built-in HLAE Installation Feature: I tried installing HLAE through the built-in installation feature of CS Demo Manager, but only received an error message stating: "An error occurred while installing HLAE". Possible reasons for this issue could include:

I may have installed an incompatible version of HLAE with CS Demo Manager. I may have installed CS Demo Manager at an inappropriate update point, possibly requiring a wait for updates related to CS:GO or associated software. To assist in diagnosing the problem more accurately, I would appreciate the following information, if possible:

The current version of CS Demo Manager.(V3.9.1) The current version of CS:GO(30 October 2024 – 22:31:55 UTC), and whether any relevant updates or patches have been installed. Whether other users have reported similar issues or if there are known compatibility problems. I am eager to resolve this issue promptly so that I can utilize the functionality of HLAE and CS Demo Manager for automatic video generation. If you require any additional information or log files, please let me know.

No response

Steps to reproduce

Launch the Application: Start CS Demo Manager. Navigate to Settings and Select Video: Within the application, go to the settings menu. Locate the section related to video settings. Choose the option to use a custom location for HLAE. When specifying the path to the HLAE executable, an error message appears: "invalid hlae executable". Attempt to Use Built-in Installation Feature: Return to the settings menu or the relevant section where you can manage HLAE. Click on the button to install HLAE using the built-in feature provided by CS Demo Manager. An error message is displayed: "An error occurred while installing HLAE".

Expected behavior

I expect CS Demo Manager to correctly recognize and utilize the HLAE executable file. I have attempted to manually inject HLAE, and it works as intended. As a complete novice in video editing, I have been following a beginner's guide to CS video editing that I found online. The first step in this guide is to use CS Demo Manager. However, I am frustrated and stuck at this point.

My goal is to be able to use CS Demo Manager to generate videos automatically with the help of HLAE, without encountering any errors or compatibility issues. I believe that the software should seamlessly integrate with HLAE, allowing users like myself, who are new to the process, to easily create and edit videos.

I believe the issue has been mostly resolved. After thorough troubleshooting, I discovered that Windows Security Center flagged the file downloaded for the HLAE functionality as containing a virus: Trojan:AndroidOS/ZkarletFlash. Although I was able to complete my intended task using the built-in installation feature, specifying the HLAE manually still seems to be unavailable.  To clarify, the built-in installation process worked as expected and allowed me to achieve my goals. However, there seems to be an issue when attempting to manually specify the HLAE path or file. This might be related to the security warning from Windows Security Center, which could have potentially blocked or quarantined the file.  I understand that this may be a false positive and that the file is safe to use.  Thank you for your attention to this matter.
