The only issue I can think of right now is the --dyndll
option. The PDK
6 version contains some code that will trigger the Data
Execution
Prevention (DEP) feature in Windows 2003 and Vista. This
problem has
been fixed in PDK 7.
I don't know any reason why PerlApp 6 compiled executables
wouldn't run
on Vista if you build them without the --dyndll option.
Well, one other thing I can think of is User Account Control
(UAC) in
Vista: Programs running on Vista don't automatically get
admin
privileges just because they are being started by an
administrator.
Could this be the problem?
If none of this applies, could you provide me with more
details about
how the code fails on Vista? Our PerlApp regression tests
all run fine
on a Vista test box.
Cheers,
-Jan
