Exe working under Windows 8 and 7 but not under XP

Post by Patrick Chalvet »

Dear Antonio,

After compilation, the exe is working fine under Windows 8 (32) and 7(32)
but not running at all under Windows XP.

Patrick

can you be more precise ?

Is the exe launching under xp or not at all ?

Are you getting a message ?

I use the same environment (msvc , harbour 3.2) also

Ps : are you using themes with XP ? i would advise you to use them

Hth

Just add this function to your main PRG:

function GetTasks() ; return nil

and your app will run fine on XP :-)

Dear Antonio,

Could you please look a fix for it please?.

Gettask is used at errorsys.prg

Muchas gracias ;)))

Antonio

is it safe to add function GetTasks() ; return nil

How will errsysw.prg for example react , how the error.log will display the different tasks ?

Otto,

More tan 60% of our users are using Windows XP, 30% Windows 7, and the rest Vista (very few) and Windows 8.

So I am afraid XP is still very very alive.
Muchas gracias. Many thanks.

Same situation here.

Company 1
67 Pc´s (50 XP, 17 WIN7)
2 Linux Servers (Mysql)

Company 2
79 Pc's (48 XP, 30 Win7, 1 W8)
2 Linux Servers (Mysql)

Company 3
35 Pc´s (30 XP, 5 Win7)
1 Linux Server (Mysql)

Most of them will be upgraded to Win7 before the end of year.
Some administrators bought new Notebooks, they came with W8, all of them where downgraded to Win7.
