CVI 8.1 breaks Delphi 7

[johnc]

Hi,

I have a very small CVI application, 1 panel and 1 command button to execute a system() function.

I have built a distribution kit and installed the application on 2 Win XP Prof. PCs. This is the first time a CVI 8.1 application has been installed on these machines.

Post install, a previously working Delphi 7 application causes a general protection fault. Unistalling the Nation Instruments components removes the problem with the Delphi application.

Any idea what the problem is?

Cheers,

John C

Hi John

What does the Delphi application do? Is it the same for any Delphi application?

To be honest I am not sure what could cause this. - sounds like your CVI application is fairly simple, and it seems as though the RunTime engine for CVI is the issue, rather than the application.

Can you post a screen shot of the error that the Delphi application gives?

Regards

Change the distkit to:
- remove unwanted components (VISA...)
- install the CVI runtime in the application directory and not the system
dir...
As for the root cause, I have no idea. I assume it has nothing to do with
the Borland compiler compatibility mode...

Thanks, for the feedback. I'm on my way back to the UK at the moment, I'll test this out further and provide some more information when I get back.

Cheers,
