Compiled project works within VDS with F9 key, however exe does not work after compiling with F12 key. No error messages...nothing!

move the exe out of the compiled folder and it works!?

has anyone else experienced this type of problem? thanks, nt.

Which version of VDS are you using?

Also, F9 runs a project, while F12 compiles the project to an executable,
at least in VDS 5.

VDS 5.1

Continued with efforts to locate the problem.

Discovered vdsrun50.dll causes the problem if in the same folder as compiled vds exe.

if vdsrun50.dll removed from exe folder...exe runs ok.

I am assuming at this time...that vdsrun50.dll must be installed on end-users path "windows or system" directory and.... not all files in the program folder.

all feedback welcomed. thanks, nt

[PGWARE]

Check to make sure you are not using an older version of the vdsrun50.dll. Use the one from 5.1.

[noveltech]

how can one tell vdsrun50.dll 5.0 from 5.1?

The creation date? If so...which date should I look for?

Thanks, nt

You can right click the dll file and select "Properties" from the menu.
Now on the dialog displayed select the second tab "Version"
There you can see 5.0.1.116 under File Version(so U can say if it is VDS 5.01 runtime). You can right click the dll file and select "Properties" from the menu.
Older one has 5.0.0.100 I think.

The "redist" folder in your VDS5 directory should hold the most current version of vdsrun50.dll - try
to copy that one to your program folder - that's where your program will look for it first.

you are correct! I had the older ver of vdsrun50.dll.

after correcting the version issue...alls well.

thanks again...i wasted several (8+) hours trying to locate the problem with my code.

thank you for all feedback, nt
