Or issue an upgrade statement "Support for Windows 98 has been discontinued"
followed by "Its 2004, Windows 98 was released in 1998, you do the maths"

Yeah splitting out app into packages is on the list of things to try, but
it's at the bottom as it's not going to be that easy due to high coupling.
Might have to give it a go. I'll try first culling out some recently added
forms and see what happens.
Cheers guys,

Seem to recall an old work around was to put some forms into
DLLs and call
them as needed.

It's a 35+mb exe (about 900 forms) that works and then with
a couple of
changes stops working, we aspack it down to 3mb before giving it to
clients
though. :o)
One of my workmates has reminded me to do a google groups
search and we
have
narrowed it down to probably being several more forms being
added to the
project thus increasing the size of the exe's resource
header which maybe
win98 looks and decides that such a size couldn't possibly
run, so it
won't
let it.

I've heard that Win98/ME etc has an EXE size limitation. You
may be able to
get around it by simply compressing the EXE using say UPX
(http://upx.sourceforge.net), otherwise you may need to split
parts of the
app into DLL's or packages.

Subject: [DUG] Windows 98 problems
Hi all,
We recently made some changes to our largest delphi 4
application and now
it
does not work under Windows 98. When I say does not work I
literrly mean
that, it won't run any more windows just says 'There is not
enough memory
to
start x' or something similiar and suggests 'Quit some
running programs,
and
then try again". The problem is that it happens as soon as
you double
click
on the app or run it from the delphi ide. I've put a break
point on the
begin in the dpr and it doesn't even get there. It's
like win98 is
looking
at the exe and deciding it can't run it - and doesn't give
a particullarly
helpfull message. Memory is not the issue as there is
512mb of it and
nothing else running.
So I was just wondering if anyone else had encountered this
problem and/or
maybe had some ideas to diagonse the situation. I can
provide more info
if
you want.
Cheers,
