I don't know about madexcep, since I use Eurekalog myself, but my guess is that when madexcept breaks the hang, it reports where in your code you are hanging. That could be *very* useful, because the current error just could indicate that your create code hasn't been executed correctly. So the terminate command could try to free something that is not initialized.
And try investing in a virtual machine like vmware. http://www.vmware.com/ Then you can create a test environment exactly like your customers, so you won't break anything in your development environment. It will also help you test installation on a "virgin" machine so none of your own settings will influence the installation. /Kaj -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Brigitte Spatz Sent: 11. juli 2005 08:27 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [delphi-en] Re: bugreport I only added the application.terminate after said customer wrote to say he couldn't start the application any more (after the first successful start) and it hung his computer for a couple of minutes (thank god for madexcept, which kicks in when the application freezes and closes it), so I don't think this is the cause of it. I merely added it to prevent the application from freezing his computer. I will definitely install SP2 in the next few days (have to meet a deadline tonight first before I can start playing around with my computer) - I hadn't done this because I'd heard so many horror stories of applications not working any more and I didn't want to risk messing up a perfectly working system...
