Hi All...

Why does valid PE files that run fine on Win98 get reported as "Invalid in Win2K"..

It seems that Win2K does not even run the program.
I would expect win2K to try eunning it and come up with an error and ask you to contact te vendor...

Any difference to the way Win98 and 2K/ME read and load PE?
Any nice readings for that?

LOVE YA ALL!

Diff just like NT 4.0 and 95, NT requires correct imagesize, correct file align, no special asm instructions, no ring0, all RVAs should be DWORD aligned

Isn't there an app at protools that corrects and aligns the section infos automatically so the program will run on 2k? I tried to check, but all mirrors are now directed to 'digital-euphoria' or something like that. I want my protools back dammit!

Hi rippadog,
remember that winnt series cares about checksum value meanwhile the win9x series doesnt care about it

See ya

WindowsNT 4.0 and 2K doesnt check PE EXE checksum, just set it to 0, checksum is only required for system drivers

Sweet..... Someone in the off topic forum posted a link to a protools mirror that's still up.

That app that I mentioned is under the utilities section and it's called PE Validator by LaZaRuS.
