porting code to win xp

[nicasa]

Hi There,

I have developed several apps using BCB C++ v 5.0 on win 98. THey run perfectly on win '98.
Although I can easily re-compile and re-build them on win xp, when I try to run them I get the error:

"procedure entry point SMapLS could not be located in kernel32.dll".

I have built the apps using the default dynamic linking and have packaged each app with its own installer and all the required dlls.

What can I do ??

Thanks,

You obvious uses some calls that Win98 supports and WinXp dosen't. Are You using direct port access??? Low level disc routines???

Remember that XP is a derivate of NT and thus denies direct access to hardware, that could be the problem.

Thanks Totte,

I am using some low level win api like this one to play sound files. When I take it out the program runs fine.

PlaySound("ID_SOUNDWIN", HInstance, SND_ASYNC |
SND_RESOURCE);

// ID_SOUNDWIN is defined in a .res file

How might I modify the above code so that I may continue to use sound files in win applications ?

I haven't come to that yet, i'm sorry, so You will have to check with another or go through the Help or forums.
