I am having a problem with a D7 app on some XP machines. All are sp2.

Some work fine, others crash before they even get to the
Application.Initialize line. XP gives no meaningful error info.

Any ideas....

It's hard to say without knowing what your app is doing, what units are used and
what initialization code is executed.

I had an app crash that was calling a method in one of the jedi libs. It turns
out it was attempting to access some CPU info to see if it had MMX. The Bios
had the CPU locked and the code crashed on startup without giving us any clues
why. It worked fine on 3 servers, and crashed on the 4th.

We also had some apps that would crash out without any error info at all. We
found out that the default printer had been removed (or all the printers had
been uninstalled) and printers.pas choked the application. The only reason we
found this one was because out of pure desperation, I wrapped the Application
calls in the dpr inside a Try/Except and displayed the error message.

HTH,
