I recently started trying to learn how to use dll injection. I have a very basic script that simply shows an alert window that it is loaded but when I load it via the memory view>Inject DLL I get the error Included in the attached image. Is this something I am doing wrong? Something I can fix? Or should I look into creating a custom dll injector?

compile your dll in release mode so it doesn't rely on the vc debug runtime (or tell it to static link)

and pick an easy target proces like the ce tutorial
and make sure that for a 32 bit tatget your dll must be compiled for 32 bit and if the target is 64 bit the dll must be 64 bit

I went ahead and remade and then recompiled the script, this time making sure that it was in x64 released mode but got hit with another error, so I tried it on the x64 tutorial and it stop responding for a while then returned with an error that said it took "longer than 10 seconds to execute." Im not entirely sure I understand how this works. Is there a better guide or an existent thread I can take a look at rather than the here and there scraps of youtube videos I've been trying to learn from.

in visual studio debug the dll and set as host target the ce tutorial

then use CE to inject the dll and then debug where you think it goes wrong
