Confused .exe uses default app.config #185

Closed mrjohnr closed 9 years ago

Hi! I've migrate from Eazfuscator to confuserEx but I have a problem: when I upgrade my application to new confused .exe,it uses default app.config ignoring the existing one,and all settings inside(database path,server ip,etc),there are couple implementations and that is a problem to lost settings,I revert to Eazfuscator and problem is gone,is there any solution to use confuser and have all settings back? thanks!

Hi, There are two possible reason to this problem.

  1. Eazfuscator renames the settings class. If this is the case, then there is really no way to do a seamless migration to ConfuserEx --- you'll have to convert the old settings file to the new file.
  2. Eazfuscator did not rename the settings class. If this is the case, then the latest build should fix it, as I added special handling to exclude settings class from being renamed.

Hi,thanks for your answer I've made some tests: with default exe build (no obfusation done) I moved database from default path and also changed the setting for the path, with Eazfuscator : no error (used changed file) but with Confuser I got error,database not found in default location,so there is the problem Where I can find latest binary build,I've downloaded source and tried build from .bat file and from solutions but I got errors ....? thanks!

There are differences between user.config files,with confused exe I can see something like this: name="_x202Cx206Dx200Ex202Cx200Ex200Fx206Ax202Bx206Ex206Bx202Ex200Fx206Bx202Bx202Ex206Fx200Cx206Ex206Bx202Bx202Bx206Ex206Fx200Dx206Ex202Bx202Ax200Fx200Fx206Ax206Bx206Ax206Dx200Fx206Fx200Ex200Bx206Ex206E_x202E"

I cannot reproduce the issue here. Do you mind sharing your *.crproj file?

mrjohnr commented 9 years ago

thanks!

Sadly I still cannot recreate the problem here. Did you try clearing the obfuscated output and settings and redo the whole obfuscation process?

mrjohnr commented 9 years ago

You're right there was a problem on my side,seems to work now Thanks a lot!
