Hi ppl,

It is with great pleasure announce that exactly now I
do my first successfull compilation of my ERP app
with MSVC 2015 + Harbour + FWH.

The final EXE is so big 50MB compared to BCC 35MB,
but I see that MSVC is so fast !!!

I'm no found any hard job do that, except that I have a lot
of C code and some DLLs callig from C is very diferente in
MSVC and BCC, but in some cases, using DLL32 FUNCTION
from FWH or hb_dynCall() from harbour make the job easy.

Cheers

You may want to consider a ( professional ) .Exe 'shrinker. I have used a product called 'Aspack'. In my case it takes a native .Exe from 8 mg to less than 2mg with NO penalty in execution and with a smaller size, the shrinked Executable loads MUCH FASTER over a Lan\Wan.
