Batcomp Encryption Error

Sep

I'm getting an 'Invalid batch file' error whenever I use batcomp to encrypt a script using TCC 11.00.33 x64. Also failed for TCC 11.00.32 x64.

Works fine if I use 4NT 8.02.106.
I'm running Win 7 64 bit.

Example:

[M:\Dev\BTM]batcomp hello.btm hello_comp.btm
Compressing M:\Dev\BTM\hello.btm to M:\Dev\BTM\hello_comp.btm
Compression completed; file compressed to 166% of original size
Warning: BATCOMP is not effective at compressing small files!

[M:\Dev\BTM]hello_comp.btm
Hello, World

[M:\Dev\BTM]batcomp /Ekey hello.btm hello_encrypted.btm
Compressing M:\Dev\BTM\hello.btm to M:\Dev\BTM\hello_encrypted.btm
Compression completed; file compressed to 166% of original size

[M:\Dev\BTM]hello_encrypted.btm
TCC: M:\Dev\BTM\hello_encrypted.btm [0] Invalid batch file
 
Same thing here.

TCC 11.00.33 Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
TCC Build 33 Windows XP Build 2600 Service Pack 3

D:\>echo echo Hello world > hello.btm

D:\>batcomp /Ekey hello.btm hello_encrypted.btm

Compressing D:\hello.btm to D:\hello_encrypted.btm
Compression completed; file compressed to 250% of original size

D:\>hello_encrypted.btm
TCC: D:\hello_encrypted.btm [0] Invalid batch file

This works.

TCC 10.00.76 Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
TCC Build 76 Windows XP Build 2600 Service Pack 3

2009 Saturdays: 4/4, 6/6, 8/8, 10/10, 12/12 and 5/9, 9/5, 7/11, 11/7.
Next year they're Sunday.
 
Additional info.

The problem is in the running of the encrypted btm file, not in the encryption itself.

Proven by running encrypted scripts created by v11 and v8, using v8.
