I inherited a headache. I have a small legacy (GUI) app that was developed 10 years ago and the VB6 source code is long gone. It works currently on a couple of old XP PCs and I was asked to see if I could get it working on Windows 7 64bit. Well… that was a no go, so I tried a 32bit version to verify that 64 wasn’t the issue and it didn’t work. So I then created an XP virtual machine and it didn’t work either. The issue is the same on all three environments. You double click the .exe and nothing is displayed but when you look under task manager, it’s there and pegging the CPU.
I downloaded Dependency Walker and it seems that all the required dlls and OCX files are there. Can anyone suggest anything else? I’m really at a loss here. Anything would be appreciated!
The standard approach is to download and run ProcessMonitor, set it to filter just your executable, run your executable and ProcessMonitor will capture what DLLs/Files/ Registry settings are being used by your application.
Have you confirmed you have the VB6 runtime files installed?

I'm not sure if they are included in Win7 anymore and they were only in XP in one of the later service packs.

I'm new to Delphi (I'm used to Visual Studio) and using it on a Windows 10 Pro system.
I tried Delphi 11 and it worked as expected.
Delphi 7, which I need to use, installed okay (I modified the ACL for the Program Files (x86) folder it's installed in, as recommended by others for Windows 10), but when I build there is no output, yet the .dcu files' modified date has changed, so it appears it built okay.
Is that the way Delphi 7 works, or is there some Window I'm missing that contains the output?

Getting this output: http://pastebin.com/PzQULCtx
Trying to run program called Chess Position Trainer with Wine on my Mac. I have tried VMs but they make the program run way too slow. A friend suggested Wine but I'm having trouble getting to running. I made a prefix with WineBottler to create the app. When I click on the .exe it bounces on my dock for a bit and then closes. When I try to run it through my terminal it gives me that above output. Tried googling this issue but not gleaning anything from my search. Any ideas?
You need to find the location of the Wine installation by running the program directly, one of the optional File paths is the location of the Wine or for mac you should be using the new version WineBottler which is now trademarked for Mac OS X and included Wine and Winebottler. Once you run the program directly your .exe will be in the system files in the same way Windows would store the files under Wine-1.7/Program Files. You might want to reinstall so that you have an easily accessible folder. Make sure to delete all Wine Folders first if you do so. Right now I'm trying to get serial bus and internet functionality within my applications and the new version includes a list of optional services called winetricks that can be applied from the menu, but right now I'm staring at a seemingly hung DOT NET 3.5 SP1 which I'm probably going to let run all day because if it's installing service packs, I've seen those take weeks on old Windows computers.

I have a program installed on windows 7 in my laptop. I wish to install the same program on windows 7 in my desktop. unfortunately, I don't have the source file with me anymore. How can I copy the entire program from one machine to another machine and make it run?
It depends on the program if that's possible or not.
You would have to know, which parts the installer copied to your computer and to which directories. Even then it is possible that the installer checked for prerequisites, found them on the laptop, but are missing on the desktop computer.
You can try to copy the files from the %ProgramFiles% directory, but it is poor luck if that works and you can't be sure that it works correctly. So your best option is to organise the installer package again.
see How to Copy a Program From One Computer to Another Without a Startup Disk.I hope it will work.

in Virtualbox it is possible to set up several instances of the same OS. Now I want to install Windows XP two or three times, because I need to check all my webwork on different Windows settings and IEs. Therefore I need to purchase one working license for the XP. But If I want to run three XPs (NOT simultaneously), do I need to have three licenses?
Thanks for your help...
To keep your boss happy (not spending more money than needed) and the Microsoft company happy you may want to consider installing their VHD's:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=21eabb90-958f-4b64-b5f1-73d0a413c8ef
You can load these with Virtualbox. In so doing no licence violations will have been committed.
I’ve tried to install a fully working Windows OS over the VM. It actually did work, but I was looking for something easier and slicker. I did find the Wine app in addition to the Winebottler app. These two work together perfectly for my needs: Installing IE 6, 7 and 8 for testing purposes. However I’ve had some issues installing IE6, but I think I will work it out soon. Use Wine to install Windows apps without having to run a full Windows partition. You just have to download the Winebottler, its image contains Wine already. You just have to Update Wine after running it the first time.
Thanks for your reply Mathew. I think your solution is also worth thinking about!
Best, Floyd Pepper

New, resurrected project site (Win7 compability and more!): http://sshwindows.sourceforge.net
1st January 2012
OpenSSH for Windows 5.6p1-2 based release created!!
Happy New Year all! Since COpSSH has started charging I've resurrected this project
Updated all binaries to current releases
Added several new supporting DLLs as required by all executables in package
Renamed switch.exe to bash.exe to remove the need to modify and compile mkpasswd.exe each build
Please note there is a very minor bug in this release, detailed in the docs. I'm working on fixing this, anyone who can code in C and can offer a bit of help it would be much appreciated
Cygwin can give you this functionality.
Try WinScp
Give http://www.privateshell.com/ a shot.
