Just letting you know I had the same issue on a Windows XP SP2 machine. Let me know if you want more info, apologies if things are under control. And also, not sure if anyone has seen this or can reproduce it.... Once I got things working on the above machine (XP SP2, using TSK 3.0.1 instead which worked), I was doing some timeline creation (fls -r -m ... ). Everything seemed to be working OK, and then I started up a second fls, again with -r and -m but on only a subdirectory (I got impatient and figured I didn't really need the whole fs). This produced a crash (windows error report). I tried it again and on different sub directories, but it seemed to keep crashing. When I just ran one at a time over the whole drive, no problem. This was on a machine I can't really mess about with too much, and I actually don't have a good dev setup right now. Is it even possible this is affecting things?? If so, and it's not a wacky coincidence or a more subtle issue, can someone try and reproduce it? i.e. fls -r -m C: \\.\C: and while that is still going: fls -r -m C: \\.\C: <some sub dir> where C: is an NTFS drive. Hope I'm not on crazy pills. Thanks for the great tools. Al |

Can you download depends.exe from: http://dependencywalker.com/ Run it and open one of the TSK exe files (File -> Open). At the bottom, it should list a bunch of dll files and some may be red (or some other error-looking symbol). Can you report which ones are showing that? thanks, brian On Apr 8, 2010, at 2:48 PM, Al MailingList wrote: > [ sleuthkit-Bugs-2950687 ] Windows binaries not working. >> Message: 1 >> Date: Tue, 23 Mar 2010 01:58:42 +0000 >> From: "SourceForge.net" <no...@so...> >> Subject: [sleuthkit-developers] [ sleuthkit-Bugs-2950687 ] Windows >> binaries not working. >> To: no...@so... >> Message-ID: <E1N...@sf...> >> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" >> > > <snip> > >> sleuth-win32-3.1.0.zip: On some machines in our relatively homogeneous >> computer lab, attempting to run TSK tools yields the following error >> message: "The system cannot execute the specified program" My limited >> research seems to indicate that an incorrect version of a system DLL could >> be the culprit (e.g., older kernel32.dll) but I haven't been able to pin >> down a difference between working and non-working machines, even with >> Dependency Walker. > > Just letting you know I had the same issue on a Windows XP SP2 > machine.

Sorry it took a while. Ran it, Got something along the lines of: Side bye side configuration information for fls.exe contains errors. Apllication has failed to start... Side bye side configuration information for Libewf.dll contains errors. Application has failed to start... At least one delay - load dependency was not found At least one module has a unresolved import due to a missing export function in a delay-load dependent module Msjava.dll error opening file the system cannot find the file specified (2) And Msjava.dll had a little error symbol next to it and was red. I will rebuild the box I ran this on soon, so let me know if you want any more information.

I don't have Msjava.dll listed as a dependency when I run depends.exe on my system. If I sort the modules by name in the bottom of the window and copy them out, I get the below list. Can you do a similar thing and maybe we can find out what is different.

Sorry about this Brian, but the machine has been rebuilt by another team and is back in service I think :( I was using the executables, not building from source. I grabbed the latest - 3.1.1 from the web site. When I had the issue mentioned with those, I went back to 3.0.1 which worked fine. It does seem very odd that you don't have the same dependencies..... Maybe someone else will see a similar issue and report it? Apologies. Al |
