# Known issues

* Failing to heap manipulation causes host process crash.
* Not quite elaborate because I'm not good at doing heap "fengshui" on winows LFH.

# FAQ

* Q: Error in reboot vmware after crashing process.
* A: Just remove ***.lck** folder in your vm directory or wait a while and have a coffee :).Here is a simple [script](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/unamer/vmware_escape/master/cleanvm.bat) I used to clean up.
