Applications made with Borland C++ Builder 6 not working in XPE

[Tom]

I am trying to run a few windows applications made with Borland C++
Builder 6 in XPE and they are terminating with no errorlevel being
returned. Applications made with Microsoft Visual Studio work fine.
Has anyone else seen or heard of this kind of problem with borland and
XPE?

The generic answer is: You're missing a dependancy.

I'm not familiar with apps made using Borland (I used MS). What I would do
to trouble shoot this is first run depends.exe against the app to see the
static DLL dependancies. Verify that each of those exist in your OS. Most
likely, that will solve your issue.

If that doesn't work, try other tools (filemon) to see what file it's trying
to open but failing. 99% likely, you're missing a DLL. 90% likely, you'll
find it through depends.exe.
