Hi,
I have a fairly large MFC program which runs great on Win95/98. A customer
is trying to run it on Win2000 and reports that it doesn't run- that is to
say it doesn't even show the opening window. How do I compile my program so
that it will run on Win2000? Is there someway I can compile one version
that will work on all Windows platforms? Are there any DLL's I need to
include with the CD that aren't part of the basic MS operating system for
2000?

Hi Yochanan! Do you use MFC in a .DLL or in a static library? If you use it in .DLL form you might want to theck the version of MFC you're using and make sure you copy the SFC???.DLL files into the application directory. However. I use MFC quite a lot and *never* experienced any problems like you describe. I used to test on NT, not 2000, and everything always worked on 95, 98 and ME as well. I however do NOT use MFC in a .DLL. HTH Jan Yochanan Spielberg wrote:bs"d Hi, I have a fairly large MFC program which runs great on Win95/98.

bs"d Hi Jan, I am using MFC in a static library, and compiling with the Project Settings Target Platform set as Windows 95. The program does make use of COMDLG32.DLL and COMCTL32.DLL. Do these ship as part of the basic Windows 2000 setup, or do I need to provide them to the end user?

That's what you should do to get the latest Win32 features.The program does make use of COMDLG32.DLL and COMCTL32.DLL. Do these ship as part of the basic Windows 2000 setup, or do I need to provide them to the end user?
No, they come with Windows 2000. No need to do anything. Is the program using any 3rd party DLL? Jan

do you do any registry access that assumes full registry permissions? when I try to track down problems, I use regmon, filemon (sysinternals.com) and depends (dependencywalker.com). regmon and filemon can show things like access denied, and dependency walker can give system information as well as minimal crash information

Hi,
Thanks for your help. I got my client to run the debug version of the
program on Win2000 using a program called DebugView so that he could save
the Error and Trace output to a file. The output was:
[572] Ctxt01App constructor
[572] Ctxt01App::InitInstance
[572] CmainFrame::constructor
[572] Added doc templates- Creating an MDI frame window
[572] Warning: failed to load menu for CFrameWnd.
[572] CMainframe::destructor
from which I was able to pinpoint the error to this code from my Win main
App class InitInstance() function:
TRACE("Added doc templates- Creating an MDI frame window\n");
if (!pMainFrame->LoadFrame(IDR_MAINFRAME)) {
return FALSE;
}
Something in the pMainFrame->LoadFrame command is not working on Win2000
that works ok on Win95. Do you have any suggestions what might be causing
the problem?
Thanks.

do you do any registry access that assumes full registry permissions? when
depends (dependencywalker.com).
regmon and filemon can show things like access denied, and dependency

I'd say your resources are marked W95, mark them NT4 and they should work on NT4, 2000, 95, 98, ME. Chris.Thanks.
