Word 2013 - unable to place hooks on numerous functions

[kevoreilly]

I haven't noticed this myself - can you share an example sample?

Just ran this and saw none of those messages.... Bit of a mystery. Which package is it running under? This runs as doc for me so perhaps something to do with Word version?

[enzok]

Word 2013. With and without service pack. I have 2010 on another VM. Will try it and see if it is any better.

Ok it seems it's an issue with Office 2013. But why?

[kevoreilly]

This is a good question - ultimately without having 2013 to test on, all I can imagine is that maybe office is itself doing some hooking, or preventing memory allocation for the hook (alloc_hookdata_near failed), or preventing patching the entry point of those APIs (hook_create_trampoline failed).

To investigate, perhaps compiling a monitor with some extra debug output surrounding the if statement on L#790 in hooking_32.c to find out which of the two functions mentioned above fails, then digging into that further, might shed some light.

Unfortunately I am low on time to do this myself with so many other more important issues stacking up! Please let me know if you might have time to investigate further - if not I think I will close this issue as being too low priority to invest the time into at this stage.

Closing this issue is fine with me. I don't have 2013 in any of my VMs to test with latest CAPE.
