thank you for this information.

I had to set the PE Versions to 5.0 to get the O/S to recognize it, and now it runs.

regards and all the best!

A 'legacy' environment - with 'old...' applications running on Windows Server 2000.

I have a support application running on the same server that was developed in earlier versions

of Delphi and lastly compiled in Delphi 10.4.2.

I recently compiled the same app in Delphi 11 - win32 and tried to run that app om W2000.

'not a valid win32 application'.

Just to test and verify that it is Delphi 11 and not the app---

I created a test VCL app with a FORM and no manifest or other 'newer' project options enabled

and tried to run that on w2000.  - same message.

(*Just Curious and want to learn*) - I know W2000 is no longer a valid o/s to work with (maybe now that win32 apps would not work on XP!).

QUESTION -

what internal new 'feature' in Delphi 11 causes the compilation to create a win32 app exe in the file that is not recognized now?

-the answer may be in a Delphi 11 release note ?

Thanks in advance

I had not tried the F1 - but yet it does not open a specific version 11 help - it refers to 10.x

Doc Wiki link goes to Delphi 11 Alexandria page.

More feedback.

1. When I have a win application project open- and switch from win32 to win64 -- and I need to add a new library path to the

Win64 environment- The Library .. Selected Platform DOES NOT FOLLOW - the initial Selected Platform is STILL win32....

2. Exes generated by Delphi11 are 'slightly smaller' than those for the equivalent app generated in 10.4.2

The look and feel for Delphi 11 is nice but it seems to me the concentration was on eye candy and new code candy, not on basic IDE usability in regards to 10.x IDE (font, toolbar persistence, library path selection matching project)?

(Windows 10 - I am admin on PC)

1. install did not work on one PC (this had 10.4-and was-is my'new version test PC'.

(I could install it on another PC no issue)

2. IDE modification -settings do not get save between IDE sessions.

-- Fonts

--customizing toolbars

Once Delphi is started again -back to initial installation settings.

web install exe failed for me,

 

started install - then error -could not find bds.exe (in the Studio\22.0\bin folder?

 

I will try the ISO image

**ISO image has same issue.

 

Many folders created, files copied.

BUT there is ***no*** BDS.EXE in the 22.0 \bin folder

 

ISSUE may be Path - I do get a warning but I have pruned down the path as best I can. 

WHY in this day and age would Delphi use PATH?

UPDATE:

I deleted other applications that increased the system PATH variable to below 1800 and DID not get the install WARNING from the install routine and STILL got the error - BDS.EXE was not found in the folder, though many other files and folders were created.

I am looking at a non-https intraweb application.  I see the iW authorization components and the

Autherevent looks promising.

I see that placing it on the servercontroller and using the oncheck event I get what I need.

Before anything happens when connecting to the iw web server the prompt comes up.

When this is sent back to the server from a browser is that message encrypted in anyway with iW functionality or

is it open html text?

Thanks in advance

Side note=I went back to TMENU and used screen font to set font size as desired.

Otherwise issue still exists

Balabuev

-It is the class of the menu component - not a menu item. See attached.

As per earlier posts - I can always 'get it back' - temporarily and so far it only an

issue in the one project.

It is an OLD component I have carried over many Delphi versions.

The only reason I use it is that I can set the FONT of the menu.

I am looking at alternatives also

thanks

Do you have a possible idea on this one?  There are no TFrames(s).

The main form has a TPagecontrol on the TForm.

I am using this code:

procedure DockForm(Source: TControl; Destination: TWinControl);
begin
     if Source = nil then
          Exit;
     if Destination <> nil then
     begin
          Source.ManualDock(Destination, Destination, alClient);
          Source.Align := alClient;
          Source.Show;
     end
     else
     begin
          Source.Visible := false;
          Source.ManualDock(nil);
     end;
end;

**This is from  DOPC code - KASSL since this is an OPC client project -I implemented this from an example project from KASSL.

This places some other forms visually in elements of the main form, but that code is ONLY executed at runtime, right? In other projects I make extensive use of TFrames, but not this one.

**Again - this issue is new.

If I open up RAD studio and the problematic applicaiton is the first one I open I have this issue.

The VCL component is installed and the BPL exists in the correct location.

"Class xxx not found" Ignore the error and continue etc. message.

-If I close the project (without saving) - open another project with the same VCL component without error - close this project

the problematic projects opens - WITHOUT this error.

-If I open RAD Studio - FIRST open another project with the component -no errors - I close this project and open up

the problematic project - NO ERROR.

It may not be a general issue with 10.4.2 but there is some error - corruption with the project. This same project was being developed in 10.4.1 for weeks with no issue.

Hope this helps.

Any ideas - comments - suggestions will be looked into.

in one of my applications there is a custom menu component -not TMenu

i have been using it pre 10.4.2

in one application App A I am working on (so far), when I open up the project I get the message 'xx' component not found.

--However it is installed (and in the pallette).

If I open another application (not with this component) and add the menu vcl to this app and close this app and open up the first

app then it appears again - no error message.

HOWEVER when i close Delphi and re-open it and open App A - same error message until I run the excercise described above.

I have not seen this before.

(I have not yet checked other apps using this component since I just updated to 10.4.2)

Any suggestions welcome.

stay safe

Thank you !

I was able to download the GITHUB TDIFF and got the app working with identical results in Win32 or Win64.

I may have an incorrect setup but I had to add Winapi.Windows to the HashUnit (DWORD was not defined?)

to compile properly.

regards all

I had the requirement to compare to two text files (via Tmemo) and found the TDIFF component that worked exactly as I wanted. win32 app.

I just set the application to compile as a win64 bit app and the results were 'wrong'. (As verified with Notepad++ compare). No crash, no warning, just different results.

I am guessing the optimizations within the TDIFF unit and pointer use do not work in 64 bit target platform.

Description:      Component to list differences between two integer arrays   *
*                   using a "longest common subsequence" algorithm.            *
*                   Typically, this component is used to diff 2 text files     *
*                   once their individuals lines have been hashed.     *

I could not find another Component in JVCL - any alternatives out there?

Thank you in advance
