Thread: Using BUNDLE in 1.4.0.1 under WINDOWS-98SE

    Using BUNDLE in 1.4.0.1 under WINDOWS-98SE

    Eros:

    I have BUNDLE 1.4.0.1 working fine under WINDOWS-XP, however, I can't seem to get it to do anything under WINDOWS-98SE.

    I have not tried earlier versions of BUNDLE on WINDOWS-98SE so I don't know if this problem is unique to 1.4.0.1 or not.

    Re: Using BUNDLE in 1.4.0.1 under WINDOWS-98SE

    Yes Don,

    you are right. Bundling operation seems not possible under Win9x system (Me included).
    Bundled scripts produced under XP seems working though also under Win9X.

    Making this tests, I've found another possible bug. There are some modules like (OS and Console) that are produced into 2 different version depending on the OS. When you install thinBasic under WinNT class machines (from Win2K above), the NT version of those modules are installed while if you install thinBasic under Win9x, than the Win9x of those modules are installed. This will create problems when a script containing one or more of those modules is bundled under NT class machines and executed under Win9x. Modules will not load due to missing API functions. We need to find a way to bundle different modules versions or use dynamic linking instead of static linking.

    I'm sorry, but we need some time to check the reasons. Quite sure it is an unsupported API calling.

    Thanks for reporting.

    One possible solution is add on the bundle creation panel the required OS where run the bundled executable, on bundle start up check the OS requirement and stop the execution if not satisfied.
    Please let me know what do you think. Thanks

    Roberto,

    the problem regarding different modules version is secondary. Important for the moment is to have bundling working on Win9x OS.
    After that we can discuss privately about possible solutions for modules having different versions. I have already some ideas.

    Ciao
