loader not working

[theboy181]

Fresh install of Windows 10 and IDAPR0 7.0

Installed python 2.7.18 (64bit) and py -2 -m pip install lz4

Please help

You need lz4 installed correctly - I know that doesn't help, but that's the issue.

One option is to modify the code and replace:

import lz4.block

uncompress = lz4.block.decompress

with the uncompress implementation from https://gist.github.com/weigon/43e217e69418875a55b31b1a5c89662d (either patched to remove the six dependency or with six installed correctly). This is significantly slower, and I didn't do it in this repository for licensing reasons, but this is an approach I've used to work around IDA python package installation problems in the past.

It worked with my IDA Pro 7.5 SP3 + Python 3.9 update on macOS. With pip3 install lz4, I have to restart IDA Pro a few times before it works.

I wish this could fix the symbols as all other loaders seems outdated and not working.

@x43x61x69 what do you mean by "fix the symbols"? Feel free to open an issue explaining the issue if there's something that could be fixed

@hthh ah, I was meant to say restore the function name. I've seen a DLL version by someone else which is now outdated that were able to resolve the function name (as shown in his screenshot).
