Subject Re: EXE will not run Windows 10 From Andy Taylor <andy.taylor.1959@outlook.com> Date Fri, 09 Oct 2020 03:34:45 -0400 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started Greg, I would start asking your "managed update" IT guys what software has recently come into the environment that will kill any exe stone dead that it does not recognise.  Usually Windows10 is set to ask the user if they are happy to run an exe that is outside normal parameters (i.e. certified code that MS recognises) but some paranoid IT crews that I have come across think that all users are cretins and need to be saved from themselves....

I am using version 10.3.1.0 and build b2504 and BDE 5.2.0.2 I was thinking of upgrading but I wasn't sure it would fix the issue. Thanks. > > > > The application should run on Windows 10.

I have uninstalled runtime and app. Same result. It has been running on win 10 for ages on 5 pc's but stopped recently on 2 machines and runs on my win 10 PC and 2 others still. I looked at DEP recently too but haven't check or studied up a lot. I will check this out. Thanks. >
