Our company recently upgraded from delphi 7, to 2006.

In doing so, we ran into a few problems.

I had to change the default project options to NOT have the "strict var
string" option on. I also found that 2006 brought out a few more
errors than delphi 7.

For instance, in one of our components, we now have an "Invalid hook
handle" error, where we didn't have this before...and it only happens
when the .exe is exiting.

Also, some activeX property pages aren't working in MMC. When shown,
they error out with "[Class].[PropertyPage]" class not registered.
But, it is indeed registered. I even triple-ensured it was registered
by using regsvr32.

I've searched and haven't found anyone with simliar problems. Does
anyone have a suggestion?

I guess my main question is: besides the strict var string option, is
there anything else that's on/off by default that i need to change, to
emulate delphi 7?

once i know of all the options, i can change any offending code...but
for now, i just need it to work!

any help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
J

Actually, an even worse problem I'm getting: now, when an .exe of ours
exits, I get the "Unknown software exception".

Again, this only started happening when we went to borland delphi
studio 2006.

Any ideas on how to track this one down? The address it has is way out
of range for my program.

After more research, i think it might be possible that the DCOM library
we use is outdated. Components may be getting Released more than the
reference count.

Is there a dcom library for 2006, like the one we already have?

The files in the library are:
AxCtrls.pas
ComObj.pas
ComServ.pas
OleCntrs.pas
svcmgr.pas

Hoi

Your question is more fitting for the newsgroup
b.p.d.com.activex.using, try to repost the question there, and do the
