Problems with patching encrypted executable

[ChrizzA]

Hello there,

We use a security program called Armadillo to encrypt and compress our executable. This all works fine. But since we have regular updates we don't want to release full versions constantly so we need a patch system.

The problem now comes with the patch software, because when the executable gets encrypted it generates an executable with a different code everytime. So when i run the patch software it everytime thinks it's a different executable. This results in patches that are almost equally big to the executable thus making the patch system obsolete.

Does anyone have some ideas ?

Encryption with Armadillo, Konxise and Refox will give you different executables every time.
That's part of the encryption process.

A solution might be to split up your app in different exe's with their own functionality that can be replaced much easier.
