    Brian Hamilton In the post I did run it on Win7 32-bit - but I just ran it on XP as well without issues or modifications - very simple program. But why should a simple D10.1 upd2 compiled program not work on XP out of the box?

    I run into lots of dll issues on XP (its listed as not supported by Berlin)..it might depend on what components you use

    Brian Hamilton​ OK, I really don't target XP anymore. I would have guessed that the non-XP was more commercial thing. I would have guessed more on type issues - but I guess if you ensure only shortstring/ansistrings are passed you should be good. Any concrete example?

    I seem to have problems with the versions of msvcrt.dll and its related files. I dont have access to XP myself, just know what issues customers have

    Brian Hamilton I would setup a XP vm, can from the top of my head figure out what needs the VC runtime, maybe it just requires a newer msvcrt build.

    if a xp user updates to all the latest patches/updates that are available (googling for those helps) then it works..but not without doing that ..maybe you had already updated your XP to all the latest updates etc?
