I have a developed a C++ application using 32 bit and it create a executable file. This project has uses some external library like window socket 32bit, Qt GUI and boost library. The dll is located at same directory with the executable.
I wonder how can i run this application on window 7.
MY window 7 version is Home Premium 64 bit. Therefore, i cannot install the XP mode from Virtual PC but some one them reported that using Sun virtual box is functional.
I have try to troubleshoot the executable file using program compatibility but the problem doesn't solve.
Any program that can check external dependencies and identified the issues of running my program on window 7 ?
Please help.
Thanks.
64 bit editions of windows can run 32 bit applications fine. You just need to install the 32 bit versions of the needed libraries and it will work.

I made a project on the lazarus IDE, I run it on my machine win 7 x84_64 and it was executed well, then my client tested it on his machine and it run too(win 7 x84_64), but after that he tried on a Windows XP but it did not run. He didn't catch the error, so I don't know what is the specific problem but I wonder it's about "window compatibility" Is there some way to compile my project for XP platforms?
You are probably creating 64bit applications with your 64bit Lazarus. You can also install 32bit Lazarus, and it's generated applications will run on both 32bit and 64bit Windows. You can also cross compile from 64bit Lazarus to 32bit Windows, but that is not trivial. For Lazarus cross compilation you can start here. If you want easy cross compilation, then take a look at Lazarus CT edition (also known as CodeTyphon). It is packed with tons of components, 8 OS/CPU host layers (Win32, Win64, Linux32, Linux64, FreeBSD32, FreeBSD64, Solaris32, Solaris64), and 25 OS/CPU target layers. More info here.
I'm trying to install ie version 8 in a virtual box. I downloaded several files from microsoft website. One of them after start extracting the show me an language related error all the others said that the .exe file is not a valid Win32 application.
Can anyone help me how to install this??
Thanks
What operating system are you running on your VirtualBox? Because you are getting a Win32 error, I would suggest you are running a 32-bit Windows OS and have downloaded a 64-bit installer.
When downloading from Microsoft, double-check you are downloading a 32-bit installer (32-bit and x86 are essentially the same thing).

I have been trying to install and run a program written in vb 6.0 on windows 7. It was working fine installing and running in windows xp. The error message after installing and running it say that
Run-time error 339" : Component voice.ocx or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid.
This program has voice recording things.
I manually register that ocx component but still error that shown like
The module "voice.ocx" failed to load.
And I try to install VB run-time and still shows the same error. I believe that Windows 7 support vb 6.0 programs.
One thing here I am not sure of is that the ocx component I have is whether 16 or 32 bit version. I don't think we cannot register 16 bit version ocx in windows 7.
And I also try to install and run in compatibility mode or even as administrator. I think it is a platform related issue? And it might be some other work-around. So, I appreciate your hints or clues on this program runnable in windows 7.
Thanks in advance.

Just encase anyone else sees this.. here is what I did
I knew the program was running on Windows XP, with visual basic installed. I had only been given the exe and the MDB. So I created a virtual machine (stick with me) of Windows XP, installed visual basic and test the app. It was fine. Then I downloaded a dependency tool called Dependency Walker from http://www.dependencywalker.com/. I installed this in the virtual machine and asked it to open my exe.
Once this was loaded I ignored the warnings and asked it to start profiling. I ran the app, stepped through everything I could see, then exited the application. This left me with a log of the DLLs that had been accessed. Slowly I went through these checking if they existed on my windows 7 setup, when one was missing I copied it to my application directory and then from an elevated command prompt run "regsrv32 [missing_name.dll]" until there were no files which my windows 7 desktop didn't have.
the application then worked fine! This may not work all the time, because of the way third party OCX's or DLLs have been written. But it may help someone out.
Few of old Win32 components are not supported in Windows 7. There are possibilities of failure of a VB Program in Windows 7.
But there are some possible ways to fix those.

I have developed several programs with VB5 on a WinXP32 machines and then installed them on Windows 7 (32 and 64) PCs without problems.
This applications use different OCXs (16 and 32 bit version) and till now I never get problem with them. Thus I do not think that the VB5 or Vb6 could have any issue on Windows 7 machines.
On the other hand I would point out the module "voice.ocx" and investigate if it can run on a windows 7 pc, because as Katturaja sais some old ocx have problem on win7. To do that, I would create a simply VB6 project that uses voice.ocx (just an Hallo-World"), then create the installation pack and finally try to install on a clean win7 machine (for example a virtual machine). In this way you could isolate the problem.
I hope this could help you.
I have a desktop app created in vs10 and am using clickonce install. I must include a database with critical info for the program as part of the install. I am compiling for all versions of windows (32 and 64). But as I understand it, if I include the 32 bit sqlce as part of the installation, it will not work on 64 bit installs. Must I include a 32 bit and 64 bit version of the db and test for windows version before accessing the data? Or is there a simpler solution that I am missing?
You can just include all the required files as content with your app, and it will run for any user and on both x86 and x64 platforms. Just follow the instructions here: http://erikej.blogspot.com/2011/02/using-sql-server-compact-40-with.html
I have a setup created using Vb6. I am unable to install it under Windows 7. Windows 7 is not registering OCX controls included in the setup.
Same setup works fine under Windows XP and all other previous Microsoft operating systems.
Windows 7 OS is 64 bit.
Also, I have tried all compatibility mode which is available under Windows 7 without much luck.
Unfortunately I don't have source code with me. Otherwise I could have ported entire source to Dot Net.
