Porting a Borland C++ VCL 6.0 win32 app

Hi all, i am about to start porting a borland c++ win32 gui app in order to make it crossplatform (Linux/Win). I have looked briefly at GTK2,Qt 4.x,wxGTK. I think i have made up my mind, but is there anything i need to know/look into before proceeding ? (the app will be open source)
BTW - Arch simply just rulez (switched a few months ago from gentoo, got tired of waiting for compilations)

Except that its API is completely different from gtk's and qt's
From my hacking experience it's quite primitive (like MVC?): a lot of type-unsafe macros, and the layout management is hard to use and different from most GUI toolkits on X. Also, it forces you to set fixed sizes for some borders and widgets, which is a very bad thing.
If you don't have license problem, qt4 would be the best. It covers much more than what gtk does, and is probably the easist to use, though it's not yet popular on major linux distros. Gtk should not be considered if your app has to be cross-platform (not very good on windows, completely suck on osx)

TS1406 I have followed all instructions to try and fix the "not a Win32 app"

but I still get the error. Anything else I should try?

I tried getting the file from a different system and with a different browser. The file will run on that computer but not mine. I still get the Win32 app error. Both systems are windows vista.

Setup not a valid Win32 app

I just cleaned out my HD and reinstalled Windows XP. In trying to install iTunes I get a message saying that the ITunesSetup.exe is not a valid Win32 app, and the installation doesn't happen.

Most folks have seen this caused by bad wireless router settings. They connected directly to their cable modem and were able to download a valid setup file, after bypassing the wireless router. Perhaps that will work for you.
Another idea is to find a friend who was able to download it successfully, and copy iTunesSetup.exe from their PC to a USB stick, so you can get it on your PC.

Unzip error: 602_b043_multilanguage.exe is not valid win32 app

Hi, I have BB9800-torch. I downloaded the desktop software and I tried to Unzip (7zip) and the following error :
....602_b043_multilanguage.exe is not valid win32 application.?????
I am running win 7 64 bit.....

Looks like it might be a permissions issue. When you are at the command line, in a terminal window, what are the values of the environment variables ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID?

LR4 LS11.exe not a valid Win32 app

I downloaded the file Lightroom_4_LS11.exe. When I start the file I get the error message "Lightroom_4_LS11.exe is not a valid Win32 application". I have downloaded severa times, turned off virus protection SW, and rebooted. Nothing seems to make a difference. How do I get this file to run?

Windows 7.
I downloaded the file a few more times and it finally ran without the error. I have no idea why it took so many attempts.

ITunes error msg file not win32 app

I've tried downloading iTunes 10.1.2 and installing. Each time I get a message that the file is not a win32 application. Any suggestions on what would would cause this?
Message was edited by: smithgary1

The file is probably being damaged during download.
Try using a different browser to download the installer.
If that doesn't work the quickest thing to do is to get a friend to download the installer for you and put it on a memory stick.
The problem may be in your router. Also the problem seems to be common for people connecting via a USB Dongle connected to a wireless broadband provider

Receiving Win32 app error when trying to download latest itunes

I am receiving the following error when I try to update itunes. .....Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IES\37LS4QDM\iTunesSetup[1].exe is not a valid Win32 application.
I saw a previous post from someone with a similar problem. It was suggested that she update Windows XP and that solved the problem. I also have Windows XP and it is completely updated. I also tried emptying the files in the Temp Folder as suggested my another iTunes support page, but couldn't delete everything because two files were running and I couldn't figure out from what program. There were also folders inside the temp folder for iTunes, but I was afraid to delete them.
Any ideas???

Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IES\37LS4QDM\iTunesSetup[1].exe is not a valid Win32 application.
hmmmmm.
are you running the install "online" or are you saving the iTunesSetup.exe to your hard drive and then running the install by doubleclicking the installer file?
are you connecting to a network (or directly to the internet) wirelessly?

Swing integration in Win32 apps

Hi,
I know this sounds wicked, but migrating our application from Win32 to Java has to be made gradually.
I am working on migrating a large Win32 application to Java/Swing. It consists of a main window and several different child window. I have been able to host a Swing application window INSIDE a win32 child window as a container. My only problem here is that my main app loses the focus when the Swing window has it, any ideas what might cause this?
My other problem is to pop a dialog box that would me modal to the entire application (ie the main Win32 container) Can someone tell me if this is possible?
Thanks in advance,
Yannick

Try using:
'export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=kde' or =gnome.
or, 'export SAL_GTK_USE_PIXMAPPAINT=1' (or both)
in your .bashrc, relogin, and try.

I've tried at least ten times installing itunes.It previously got wiped off my pc due to a malfunction.Everytime i click run it says the location where it's stored ItunesSetup[2].exe is not a valid win32 application and won't install!
Can someone help me please!!

Also, if your using a router of any kind, by pass it and use a Ethernet cable from your modem to the computer. Like you I tried up to 15 times in downloading Version 8 not 8.1, and it was the only way I was successful in downloading and installing.
I received the same error message plus other including Signature not valid.
I will be staying away from 8.1

HT1926 I followed the troubleshoot for iTunes setup.exe is not a valid win32 app; even uninstalled QTime; reinstalled QT; then tried itunes ; no success any ideas? Windows IE8 version on PC

I followed the troubleshoot for iTunes and get message the iTunes setup.exe is not a valid Win32 application. I remove QuickTime and reinstalled QT, then tried iTunes install with no success. Any ideas?

Perhaps try downloading and saving a copy of the installer to a different (32-bit) PC. Copy the iTunesSetup.exe installer to an external hard-drive, or a large-enough thumb drive or burn it to a CD-R. Carry the installer back to your PC, copy the installer to your hard drive. (Don't run the install from the ExHD, thumb or CD-R.) Start the install by doubleclicking the iTunesSetup.exe file.

The FF 3.6.13 install download fails - "not a valid win32 app"?

I downloaded the latest FF installation (3.6.13) saving it to a local file. The file fails to execute and displays the following message ".../Firefox Setup 3.6.13.exe is not a valid Win32 application. I tried running the download instead of saving it and received the same message.

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Are you on Vista? If so, be sure to use the "Run As Administrator" option on everything you execute when you initiate the installation.
If you are on XP, make sure you are logged into an account with full local administrative rights.
Otherwise, try a clean uninstall:
