ANY suggestions are received with appreciation
for the following problem:

We've made a program with Delphi 1.0 (about 700 K of size)
which was tested on Windows 95 and
Windows Workgroup 3.11 (Finnish).

The problem is that the program didn't start at all
on a customer's computer
(P75, 16 M, Windows Workgroup 3.11 (Finnish)).
Windows tells about a module error in that
program.

So what kind of problems could there be in that
computer or in the settings of the
Windows ? Any suggestion may help.

It sounds like a common DLL may be different on the machine that
you're trying to install your program on. I've run into situations
where a computer has a different version of CTL3D.DLL, and this
can cause problems for programs designed and written with the
assumption that the same version will be there. Also, corrupted
DLLs and system files can cause the types of problems you're
experiencing.

You might just want to copy all the DLLs in the system directory
from a machine that is working and put them into the system
directory of the machine that isn't, and then try running the
program again.

There's also possible problem with decimal number representations.
I mean some other countries use something other than "." as a
decimal separator; this can cause a problem if you have some
code that depends, is somehow hardcoded, on that char since
windows automatically switches these chars.

Just a thought.

Good Luck,
Jim
