 |
|
I get the following error if I ran a Delphi 7 exe on a Windows
98 platform :
Exe file appears to be corrupt. Windows can not run this program
because it is an invalid format.
The exe runs fine on Windows 2000.
Anybody knows what the problem may be ?

This is probably a problem with too many named resources in the
program. Win98 has limits in this area that Win NT platforms do not
have. Named resources in a Delphi program are things like forms,
frames, datamodules. There are also limits on the maximal size of a
resource, which you may hit in forms rife with useless eye candy <g>.
As an experiment you can try to build the program with run-time
packages. If it then runs in Win9x (after you have installed the needed
packages, of course) your problem is likely as stated above, and the
only known cure is to split the app into several separate executables
(that is what building with packages does).

You can try EurekaLog ([url]www.eurekalog.com)[/url].
EurekaLog is an add-in tool that gives to your application (GUI,
Console, Web, etc.) the ability to catch every exception (even those
raised by memory leaks) and every infinite-loops/deadlock bugs,
generating a detailed log of call stack (with unit, class, method and
line #), showing and sending it back to you via email.
