Hi, I''m currently developing on Win2k, SP2 installed. Trying to run an app of mine on Win98 or WinXP fails hopelessly - it is as if the OS didn''t recognize the .exe file at all. Does this have to do with OS-specific compilation or could it be some OpenGL thing? The gpu''s on both of the machines are better than mine, so that can hardly be the problem. I tried compiling the program with libs compiled into it statically, and so that it would dynamically link any necessary dll''s which is somewhat of a nuisance if the other machine doesn''t have the compiler installed, but no difference... The error msg is: Error Starting Program - the file appears to be corrupt. Reinstall the file, and then try again Does someone have any experience in the matter? Crispy

Ummm... Just a wild guess... Maybe... The file is... corrupt ?
Whatever you did to copy the EXE to the other machines,
you did it wrong.

Ah! I see your logic outwits that of mine! A formidable conclusion that is, indeed! Although I find it rather unlikely because in both cases I used the Eyeball Chat''s p2p file transfer functionality. Furthermore, it managed to _successfully_ transfer the rar file which proves that the fault lies elsewhere. I''ll try out ftp as soon as possible, though... An innovating idea, I must admit, though...

I just had something sort of similar happen. I''m using the Win32 platform (no MFC) and tried running my program over the network on a Win2000 computer and it failed, but did start to run. My computer I program on is WinME.

I transfered it over ftp this time and got it running on WinXP (for no obvious reason), but Win98 still thinks I''m feeding it nothing worth running... Pretty strange IMO...
