Binary Fortress Software

HashTools is an application that calculates hashes for given files. It can calculate MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA384 and SHA512 hashes. HashTools can also add itself to the Windows Explorer context menu for easy access if desired. Just select a file to generate a hash for, click on the button for the type of hash to generate and watch the result magically appear. Once a hash is generated you can copy it to the clipboard, or you can paste a hash to check against in the “Hash Compare” textbox and have HashTools tell you if they are the same or not.

Q. I receive the error “The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). Click on OK to terminate the application.” when I try to launch DisplayFusion.
A. You must have the Microsoft .NET Framework v2.0 framework installed. Please check the Download section (above) for links to the Framework.

Q. Why do I receive an error when trying to add the context menu entries in Windows Vista?
A. You will need to start HashTools as an Administrator to add or remove the context menu entries, but once they are added you can run HashTools as a normal user again.

Q. How can I do a silent installation?
A. You can do a silent installation by using the command line parameter “/SILENT”.
