We're still supporting 98 ... but this problem is aging us quickly !
We use a standard ShellExecute construct to launch a secondary application :
ShellExecute(Application.Handle, '', PChar(AppName), PChar(ParamString),
nil, SW_NORMAL);
... but on a remote Windows 98 system it fails, returning error code 31 -
SE_ERR_NOASSOC. As it's nothing more than a humble exe file association
we're at a loss to understand why it's failing and as the system in question
is a few hundred miles away it's getting a bit fraught. We've confirmed
that it can actually ShellExecute other files ... it just doesn't like exe's
! We've also got their Registry and that's OK too !
Any ideas ?
Thanks Andrew
