Version of Powerbuilder used.
Version of Windows.

Sometimes, old PB version may not work in newer version of windows.   That may be the reason.  Check for compatibility table whether your version of PB is supported for the windows version used.

If supported,

Put a messagebox in the first line of Application open event and see whether that messagebox gets displayed.

If it does not, then check whether the EXE is still there (not deleted by anti-virus).   Check the size of the exe matches the original size of the exe.  Also the date and time with original values.   Might be that some strong virus might have affected the exe immediately on copy.

Hi 

try to start the EXE from the command line with /PBDEBUG. It will write a file with the same name as the EXE with the extension .dbg. There you will find information about DLLs and PBDs used or needed.

Regards
Arthur

Hi,

I've had something similar happening to me with a certain PB version and build. Avast antivirus would silently modify the exe.

Just as a test: Try building the executable and run it without your Anti virus being active.

Hi Deva;

  I suspect this maybe because ...

  1. You did not deploy the proper PB runtime DLLs for the PB version / build that you compiled the Paa EXE under.
  2. You did not copy the new <AppName>.XML file from the compilation folder over to your PB App EXE's deployment folder.
  3. If you have <AppName>.XML in the EXE's deployment folder, you may still need to edit this to point to where the PB Runtime is actually installed on the deployment machine.

HTH

Regards ... Chris
