compiled xlsm not working

Hello everybody,

i have one program which is compiled by xcell compiler in .exe format . when i start the program it opens a .xlsm file and its working fine but i am not able to save the document because it is trial,also i can not access VBA code of macros and everything is protected.

I solve the half of the problem like this: since my wanted file is protected i opened in excel open button and encrypted and password field showed up,after i used the program for uncovering password dots into characters and write down the password.

Then i opened temp folder and copied file from temp folder and i opened that xlsm file.It require workbook password to open and i typed the workbook password which i wrotted down which allows me to get in the file.After i saved workbook without a password,and vith RESET VBA program i unlocked VB project code which was locked for viewing and editing,but here is where PROBLEM BEGINS.

My file is completly unlocked but not functionable i am getting error that dll xcellstub.dll can not be found,and excel file is not working properly as it works when you start originally from trial application.

I tried to register that dll with regsvr32 but it can not be done.


I am new at excel and i dont know anything about VB programing,does anybody know what can be the cause and solution of this problem?

Please if you want to answer that i should buy a legal copy than ignore my post,if i want to buy the program which is so expensive i would not post here this question.

THANKS!
 
Hi ,

If you read what the Xcell compiler does to generate a .exe file , you can see that from the compiled file , you cannot get back the original workbook.

I quote from the website :
In order to protect Excel algorithms from being copied, the calculation engine was created to substitute
the original Excel's calculation in compiled EXE whereas the Excel itself is used for formatting and reflection
of calculation results. This is the only way for real workbook algorithm protection.
