i've the following scenario:

1. i've a C# application.exe

2. i pack application.exe inside TheMida, a software anti-piracy/reverse engineering.

3. i encrypt application.exe with aes256. (i wrote my own aes encryption/decryption and it is working)

Now, when i want to execute my application i do the following:

1. decrypt application.exe in memory

2. execute the application.exe with the following code:

           BinaryReader br = new BinaryReader(decOutput);
           byte[] bin = br.ReadBytes(Convert.ToInt32(decOutput.Length));
           decOutput.Close();
           br.Close();
   
           // load the bytes into Assembly
           Assembly a = Assembly.Load(bin);
           // search for the Entry Point
           MethodInfo method = a.EntryPoint;
           if (method != null) {
               // create an istance of the Startup form Main method
               object o = a.CreateInstance(method.Name);
               // invoke the application starting point
               method.Invoke(o, null);
   

3. the application does not execute correctly.

Now, the problem i think, is that this method is only to execute .NET executable.

Since i packed my application.exe inside TheMida this does not work. Is there a workaround to this situation? Any suggestion?

Thank you in advance.
