How many times did you wait? It takes a long time to extract the cab file for some discs.
I "waited" until the process just vanished from the task manager. I did not do anything to stop the process from continueing.
After each of those log entries, the process DiscImageCreator.exe was just gone.
Myst Masterpiece Edition as example.
I monitored the process with ProcMon and these are the last files accessed:

then ProgDump catches this:
Exception: C0000005.ACCESS_VIOLATION
Something must be in that data1.cab, but I can't open that file. Seems to be installshield cabinet file I think. There is also a data1.hdr on the disk.
I don't have the disc that ACCESS_VIOLATION occurs.
Still not working. I tried to manually executing the i6comp process, and it seems that is where the violation is happening:
C:\apps\backup\MPF\Programs\Creator>i6comp.exe l -o E:\data1.cab
Version 0.2 -] fOSSiL & Morlac - 2000 [-
An exception occured
This might be a new version of InstallShield unsupported at this moment
Which file types are scanned during "Checking EXE"? Maybe I can pinpoint out, which file exactly causes problems on other discs. E.g. on the XP Jump'N'Run Games it seems a game called Pigz causes the scan error, without any cabinet file inside.

.exe, .dll

I dunno why this Myst disc is so stubborn... I can't just not scan the files for protection right? Because even without using /sf DIC will still scan all files.
Because even without using /sf DIC will still scan all files.
If /sf or /ns is used, files are scanned.
So if I remove those parameters, I should be at least be able to make a backup. Might not be the "best" backup possible, but it would be a backup!
Ok without the parameters I was able to make a backup just fine on all 3 discs. Should we continue investigate or just leave it if I'm the only one who has reported that problem? Though without /ns and /sf on the Neverwinternights CD there is no SecuROM detected at all. The dump was created nontheless.
The dump was created nontheless.
Main channel (.bin .img) is no problem, but sub channel (.sub) doesn't include SecuROM data.
On the Neverwinter Nights disc I don't understand why it just vanished after it already found out about the copy protection. Shouldn't it be over with file scanning then already?
Came back to this after a while now.
And I found out something funny... it is not that the InstallShield Cabinet file is too new... it is too old! If using i5comp.exe (renamed to i6comp.exe) in version 2.01, then I get the following:
i6comp l -o E:\data1.hdr

02-22-2002 10:53 449024 A___ 227749 8 mystmaster2k-d.exe
The very same command yielded exception errors when using with any i6comp version. I downloaded the i5comp from https://hobbes.nmsu.edu/?path=%2Fpub%2Fos2%2Fwin32os2
Though ultimately the process DiscImageCreator.exe crashes afterwards anyway. I dare to say not because of any InterShield Cabinet file this time, but because of another file, as it then says in the log
Checking EXE 4
Detected InterShield Cabinet File: \data1.cab
Please wait until all files are extracted. This is needed to search protection
Checking EXE 5
Detected InterShield Cabinet File: \data1.hdr
Checking EXE 16
Then the program crashes. I cannot tell, which Exe it was accessing at this moment. I would guess Pointsoft.exe as, according to Protection ID, this contains the "Petite v2.2" copy protection.
If I might make suggestion: Out of personal reasons I'm getting rid of many old discs. The ones in this case and the ones from https://github.com/saramibreak/DiscImageCreator/issues/81 included.
If you'd like I could send them to you and you can do whatever you like with them. Would this be something you could agree with? Could send you the CDs with the cases or the CDs alone (which would end in a similar package size, because the discs would be wrapped in bubble wrap of course). So instead of buying the CDs with problems, I'd just enjoy part of the shipping costs maybe.
this contains the "Petite v2.2" copy protection.
I uploaded a test build in #103. If "petite" is included, skip scanning the exe.
All three discs can be dumped at least with the version in #122. All find either SecuRom or a protected file and continue. Though at the Myst CD, the i6comp process crashed several times, though the dump continued nontheless.

What can I do to identify the problem? Maybe I can spot the problem files with Process Monitor and look, which file was the last one which was checked?
