I made bad assumption then. Assumed the fail to complete was a cascade due to the sqlite3.C code compile fail....

Tested on known good program. Only .obj created confirming polink not working. No error message just crickets...

No, polink.exe and polib.exe don't work.

EDIT:
with v14 pocc.exe and libs and v13 polink.exe and polib.exe
Zydis 4 dll and example worked.
TLPEView worked.

SQLite3 failed, illegal instruction (movbe)

EDIT:
In some tests i needs ide, so i use poide v13 to change project files

Great test Timo.

So that means pomake, pocc, polink, porc, are all 'ok' as far as the MOVBE is concerned.
I also tested poviewp and it was ok.

So it is likely that only poide is affected but points out we should test each po... tool.

Thanks Timo and John,
I've worked on the original version of the manifest automatically generated by version 13.00.9:

Code Select

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">

/>

  </application>
</compatibility>

</assembly>

Proceeding step by step, I've identified three problems, each of which alone causes the .exe to break in my sysem (now I tested also in Windows 10).

1) Line 8 - XML comment inside an opening tag.
   

2) Line 9
   processorArchitecture="X86"

3) Line 20
   processorArchitecture="X86"

Fixes:

1) comment outside <assemblyIdentity ... />

2 & 3) processorArchitecture="*" (processorArchitecture="X64" don't work)

Hi PaoloC13,

Quote from: PaoloC13 on March 18, 2026, 10:48:12 PMI can't replicate the same problem because I uninstalled and reinstalled. It now compiles, but the .exe is broken. I suspect a file encoding issue (or some flag I haven't set?). You cannot view this attachment.

Attached a new version which compiles and runs with a simplified manifest. If you add to it, do it step by step testing each addition
