hi, Kill.exe is a small PE file with a function to display message box hello world. i want to create a file to an application to check whether the file is a pe file or not. for that i started with a first step of verifying the dos signature. you change the path "e:\\kill.exe" to any pe file it will compile. regards 0x8085

Hi mk14882, thanks for replying. yes that was the mistake i think .. but i dint know how to fix it..still i am going googling for it. Regards 0x8085
