#96 Limitations in executing EXE files stored in encrypted folders

[Enzo Michelangeli]

I have installed EncFS MP x64 0.11.1 on a Windows 7 64bit machine. I noticed the following limitations with the execution of programs stored in an encrypted folder:

• The program must be invoked with the .EXE extension, or it won't be recognised as executable:

Z:\Projects\bin>expr 2 * 3
'expr' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Z:\Projects\bin>expr.exe 2 * 3
6

Z:\Projects\bin>

• Programs depending on DLL's in the same directory won't start because the DLL can't be found:

I run the Avira anti-virus, but disabling the real-time protection doesn't solve the problem.
