Hello,

I don't see anything referring to .net when trying to start the demo. However
it ends immediately like: 
err:seh:raise_exception Exception frame is not in stack limits => unable to
dispatch exception.

That's all :(

Yes, the game has nothing to do with .NET technology.
Maybe the initial reporter wanted to express "network based application" and
didn't know that the term ".net application" has a complete different meaning?
Summary should be changed to disambiguate.

Anyway that game uses a custom PE protector, the retail version additionally
includes SecuRom 5.x
Although the section names indicate "xprot" -> x-treme protector it doesn't
seem to resemble the "real" Xprot.
Thats a common technique to look like other copy protection by using same
section names and entry signatures.
Probably to scare crackers away ;-)
