Re: Borland C++ 4.52 W32 application, crashes in WindowsXP guest

I found out what the problem was exactly. It has nothing to do with VirtualBox, I should say! The crashing was caused by different properties settings for the console window the program was running in, under VirtualBox and the regular machine. In the VirtualBox machine the Screen Buffer Size Height ...

Re: Borland C++ 4.52 W32 application, crashes in WindowsXP guest

I tried to install Borland C++ 4.52 on this guest also, but that's not possible either due to a crash of the installer. This wasn't true. I used an old copy of the installation disk that apparently had gone bad. When I used the original, the installation went just fine... I'm now working on a "...

Re: Borland C++ 4.52 W32 application, crashes in WindowsXP guest

I have used the Borland program without any problem, but it has been with VirtualBox versions prior to version 4. Still using version 3.2.12 for the XP host, as I have found some vm's could crash VirtualBox totally (black screen) with version 4+. The crashes I see, are elegant crashes, which produc...

Re: Borland C++ 4.52 W32 application, crashes in WindowsXP guest

Tonight (or maybe later) I will try and make a small 'hello world' program to demonstrate the behavior and for others to test it... The "hello world" program created with Borland C++ 4.52, using the same compiler options, functioned perfectly well. So it must be something else that the of...

Re: Borland C++ 4.52 W32 application, crashes in WindowsXP guest

Yes, it actually is Win32. At least the first few bytes of the .exe file contain the phrase: "This program must be run under Win32".

Borland C++ 4.52 W32 application, crashes in WindowsXP guest

I have a couple of Win32 applications, build with Borland C++ 4.52 (1995), that immediately crash when run on a Windows XP (SP3) guest. I tried to install Borland C++ 4.52 on this guest also, but that's not possible either due to a crash of the installer. This application has been working fine on re...
