Question

Is there any way to debug a .COM executable with OllyDbg? It seems to only accept EXEs.

Was it helpful?

Solution

COM files are 16bit DOS programs, and don't run natively under windows (they run through an MS-DOS subsystem, see wikipedia), as such ollydbg can neither attach to it nor debug it (as its a 32bit windows debugger).
