 Posted: Thu May 17, 2007 5:30 am Post subject: Delphi 2007 compiled application (with runtime packages) won |
 |
|
Hi All.
I'm using Delphi 2007 PRO on Windows XP PRO SP2.
We're having problems running our applications (compiled in Delphi
2007 with runtime packages) on Windows 2000. If we compile any of our
applications without runtime packages, it works fine.
The simplest application won't run because Windows doesn't find the
entry point for the DeactivateActCtx function in Kernel32.dll. That
function is available only in Win XP, Vista and Win 2003.
I've tested this problem creating a simple application with a single
form with 1 TEdit, 1 TMemo and 2 TButton, and compiling it with the
following packages: vcl and rtl. It doesn't work (same missing entry
point error in Kernel32.dll), but if I compile it with rtl only
(removing vcl), it works fine.
This problem doesn't happen at all if we compile all our applications
with Delphi 7. The problem is: we can't go back to Delphi 7 after 4
weeks of hard work porting all our Delphi 7 stuff to Delphi 2007.
Does anybody else have this same problem? |

Sounds like you've done great work in pinpointing the issue and
creating a trivial test app. Have you also created a QualityCentral
entry for it? It would be the best way for CodeGear R&D to get
notification of this problem, and potentially offer a fix for it.

Just guessing as I don't have D2007 - does it work OK if you switch off the
'Enable RunTime Themes' option?
