I hope this is the right group to post this to, as it appears to be more an
environment issue than anything else...
I have a D7 application running under Win2K. I use TInifile to remember
file paths between sessions, and it's been working great.
After copying the exe to my laptop under Win'98 for demo purposes, funny
things happen:
1 - with no inifile present at startup:
Crash: "SBT01 caused an invalid page fault in module KRNL386.exe ..."
I find that the inifile was created, but contains only the first 2 lines
that it was expected to contain.
Assumption: the app crashed while writing to inifile.
2 - with an inifile present at startup:
After copying an inifile from my Win2K machine:
Everything works as it should. The old paths are picked up, and then
correctly updated in the inifile after having been changed in the app.
3 - after installing D7 on the laptop to debug:
Running the app in the de{*word*81}, everything works as it should. The inifile
is created, all the information correctly written to disk.
4 - try... except block:
encapsulating the TInifile code in a try..except block, and running the
compiled executable: no exception is raised before the app crashes...
5 - Windows update:
No, I haven't run all the patches. I did not see - or missed - what would
be a version update of Win'98, and as regards the critical security
patches, this laptop is almost never hooked up to the net,
6 - KRNL386:
FWIW, my version of KRNL386.exe is 4.10.1998, dated Apr 23,1999
Are there any compiler/linker settings that could need changing?
Ideas or suggestions welcome!
Regards to all
Andre
