Program doesn't start within autostart folder (Registry)

Hello,

I'm talking about a self written delphi application (called mdt.exe) that is
registered in the windows registry (autostart key) to start automatically
when booting Windows XP embedded.

Key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\run

My problem: the application doesn't start. Nothing happens. Registering the
application in the registry on a Windows XP Prof. based system at the same
registry key works as usual - the application starts automatically.

Of course, I don't exclude any possible errors within the application, but:
What reasons are possibly leading to this effect on a Win XPe system?

Thanks.
 
akusoft,

Simple questions first:
- Does the application work on your XPe image if you launch it manually?
- What shell you have implemented in your image?
- Did you resolve all application dependencies (static and dynamic) in your image configuration?
 
Hello KM,

the application normally works on the XPe image as it works on Windows 98 SE
or Windows XP Prof. It is an application using the Borland Database Engine
5.0 for its Paradox databases.

What do you mean with application dependencies? The image is based on the
template xpprofemulation.
