I need help urgently on this;
I have a app that's been converted from 2000 to 2002 and
is currently being further developed through xp developers
edition, it installs and runs smoothly on win2000 and
winxp with the runtime of 2002 included etc etc. BUT I'm
having endless problems when installed on win98 and winME.
Is there compatibility issues here? i'm currently getting
a "kernel32.dll" error when the winME try to do certain
functionalities on my app. Is this a problem with my app
or with something else?
I would HIGHLY appreciate help on this
Thanks
 
WinME is has serious problems with many programs. Do not waste your
resources trying to sort them out (Microsoft didn't) unless you want to age
prematurely <grin>

Seriously, though, WinME does have problems and Win98 is far enough of a
legacy system, that you should be able to specify Win2000 or XP as an OS. If
your stuck with finding a solution, the only thing I can suggest is to build
your runtimes on clean WinMe an Win98 machines. Insist that the installs are
in the default locations (i.e. Program Files, etc.). Even then, be prepared
for higher support costs.

Are you using API calls? I seem to remember that some API functions differ
between Win 9.x and Win NT-based versions of Windows. If that's the problem,
if you can let us know which API calls are causing the error, someone can
probably help.
