This would be a real problem because WordPerfect used the BDE and we have many customers running our Delphi 5 generated app in conjunction with WordPerfect. (I haven't tried to confirm this myself because I don't want to screw up my development machines by loading SP2 if this is true.) Anyone know anything more about this? Is this something we can expect to be fixed in the final release of SP2?

Quote: Any news on this? Ed Dressel The only compatibility issue I am aware of the the inability to run more than one BDE application under Windows XP SP2. According to the BDE newsgroup, MS addressed the problem in the latest release candidate of SP2.

(We are real close to being done with the BDE it's just a matter of distributing the app, which with all the Q&A and legal departments I have to go through, at best it would be 3 months if I pushed).

True. But the letter that comes with it goes on to read (inter alia): "To assist you the CD for Release Candidate 2 is enclosed, this will enable you to test your applications against SP2 prior to public release, and we strongly recommend that you do test your applications as Windows SP2 will be distributed to end-users as a 'Critical Update'" Now ISTM that a software company would be foolish to ignore that advice. -- Derek Davidson http://www.enterpriseblue.com For the world's EASIEST Help Desk software Now Verified for Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Back to top John Kaster (Borland) Guest Posted: Thu Jul 29, 2004 8:34 pm    Post subject: Re: Windows XP SP2 Compatibilirt w/ Delphi Apps Derek Davidson in <410937da (AT) newsgroups (DOT) borland.com> wrote: Quote: Now ISTM that a software company would be foolish to ignore that advice. Yes, it certainly would be foolish of a software company to ignore that advice. Do you actually KNOW of any software company, that would be of interest to readers of this newsgroup, who would be ignoring that advice? Or, are you just assuming that Borland would not be aware of XP SP2 and issues it might introduce, and that we would totally ignore those issues w/o communicating them to MS before MS releases the aforementioned service pack? I'll repeat it again: there is far more going on at Borland than ever meets the public newsgroups. It's rather unreasonable to assume that just because we don't discuss on our public newsgroups every single thing we're doing that nothing is happening. To wit: <example> I sure hope you're brushing your teeth, because I have *never* seen you say anything on this newsgroup that indicates that you actually do practice good oral hygiene. </example> -- John Kaster, Borland Developer Relations, http://bdn.borland.com BorCon2004, all info in one place! http://info.borland.com/conf2004 Features and bugs: http://qc.borland.com Get source: http://cc.borland.com Unofficial information overload: http://blogs.borland.com Back to top Derek Davidson Guest Posted: Thu Jul 29, 2004 8:43 pm    Post subject: Re: Windows XP SP2 Compatibilirt w/ Delphi Apps John Kaster (Borland) wrote: Hey, take time off will you, John?
