111: Execution Error - Encrypted/Encoded verification failed

Keywords: 	  111: Execution Error - Encrypted/Encoded verification failed

Question:

Hello, I have a very interesting problem. This problem only seems to happen with Windows 98 machines so I am curious if there is something different about it (versus Win95).

I have a compiled winbatch that I use to control Microsoft Outlook 98. I named it OUTLOOK.EXE and renamed Microsoft's to OL98.EXE (this was the only way I could get roving clients to work for us). Everything was tested and worked fine on Windows 95. Even under NT, the winbatch works fine.

However, under Windows 98 every so often (not reproducable, and not often) the winbatch gets corrupted and throws up this error:

---------------------------------------------
111:  Execution Error

Encrypted/Encoded verification failed.

If you are CALL'ing a WBT from a compiled
program, you must encode the WBT using
the compiler's Encode option.

WinBatch 32 98D
WIL Version: 2.6dbr
---------------------------------------------
It happens on various machines and everytime it happens, the "corrupted" winbatch is exactly the same as all the other "corrupted" ones (I did a binary compare). The "corrupted" versions also have the same file properties (except size) I compiled into the original, so I know it is the same EXE. At first I thought a virus was the problem, but that is not the case. Have you run into this problem?

PS. I use the same version of Outlook on the Win98 machines as I use on the Win95 machines.

Answer:

Does it happen before the script runs, or during execution of the script after it has managed to start?
  1. Before the scipt runs.

    If it is running off a network drive, then this error usually indicates a network card beginning to have problems.

    If the problem is limited to one machine, then I would try replacing the network card in that machine.

    If it happens in a small batch of machines I would try to understand the network topology between the server and the affected machines and see if they share any equipment in common. Hubs, switches, etc.

    One test is to copy a BIG file to the server from an affected machine then copy it back. Then compare the original and copied files to see if there are any changes.

  2. If you were doing a CALL to a WBC file, make sure the WBC file was compiled with the same version of the compiler and the calling EXE.
