Richard,

Here it works fine, just copying the installed files.

Is you Windows 7 32 bits ? It will not run under 64 bits

regards, saludos

Richard,

16 bits applications are not supported in Windows 64 bits

Its a pity, but it is this way.

It is not clear to me.

If i right click on computer, properties , it tells me system type 64 bits, so i guess it is a 64 bits version of seven , is there another way to make sure ?

When i execute a very old version of my software (16 bits) it runs ok

what am i missing ?

Richard,

Open the Windows Tasks Manager. If you see some of the running apps with a * (star) on the right side, then it means that you are using Windows 64 and those star marked apps are 32 bits ones

It is a 64 bits version

The app i was trying to execute was 32 bits (though 7 years old), time passes by quickly.

The only remaining option is to find a good replacement to borland Resource workshop

I will go through the topic in this forum and probably ask what was the best choice for those who were in a similar case.

Thanks for the help,

Richard

Give PELLES C a try. Is an excellent Resource Editor
Last Version ( 6.0 ) works with no problem in Win7 64 Bits. I finished migrating all my Rc files to Pelles C, now I use it in Win7, Vista 64 bits and XP 32 Bits.

Download it from here

Thanks for the hint, i will give it a try

What do you mean by migrating RC files to Pelles C ?

Is there anything special that has to be done in order to use existing resources with pelles C

Thanks for your help

Richard...

By migrating.. I mean "opening" and reviewing, so far I didn't have any kind of problem with almost 50 different RC's created by Workshop.

If yoiu need any help.. just contact me.

Adolfo,

My resource look quite the same except i do not have a xbrowse inside but common controls get..etc

on all folders (i have several in my app) , the mouse is inactive on all controls inside folders ! Very strange

Do you have a folder with standard controls (like get) where you can check if you have mouse control ?

I Just recompiled on another computer with Borland RW and mouse control is ok, so surely something to do with Pelles c

Strange,

Thanks for the help,

Richard
