HI,

I have recently come up with an issue whereby compiled .exe files which i have recently compiled dont run. the script runs fine from within the ide but when compiled it just flashes up the dialog and dies. no error messages.

any ideas are welcome.

regards

ron

Hi Ron and welcome at the VDSWORLD forums Smile

Have you tried a compiled EXE on another machine? If you happened to have the same problems, could you compile a simple project and upload it so that we can look at it too?

Make sure that the vdsrun5.dll or any other dll files that you are using for that exe are either in the same directory as the exe, or in the Windows > System directory.

When I run across that situation, I'll throw in a few few "debug" info commands:

Make sure you don't have any debuggers running (such as SoftICE), etc.
Compiled executables have a protection scheme in them so that they do not run
if there is a debugger active.

Additionally, be sure that you haven't created an error routine which exits
the program or the like.

Just curious why nobody has suggested using the TRACE command. I was reading the help file tonight looking for any commands or functions that I've never used and came across the TRACE command.

Hi Guys,

sorry for thedelayed response and thanks for all your help.

the issue was due to including the xp manifest in the compiled .exe.

once again thanks for your help and suggestions
