Can not extract when Force ASLR is applied

PortableApps distributed installer is on the PE header that indicates the possible relocation, but the actually relocation information is invalid, an "Application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)" error occurs in the following situations:

  • ASLR set to AlwaysOn, using the Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit
  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\<installer exe>!MitigationOptions=qword:0x100 ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2639308 )

    NSIS

    We don't do anything special with NSIS other than add features and functionality. If the built EXEs fail ASLR, then all NSIS executables likely do, including regular Firefox and Winamp installers, etc. Not surprising given that this optional update you linked to is forcing installers to do something they are not specifically designed for.

    Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
