Re: Quotes and Double quotes (Windows 7)

Hi Frans,

The problem in my case is the awefully large and complex startup
procedure. It does already call several dll's and has to run
a command line tool, all at startup.

When it finishes this properly, which seems to depend on the
script size and install path (size?), everything works fine.

I did experiments with pumpmessages but sometimes it made
things worse. But there are occasions it has to be definitly in.

Still the most odd thing is that it depends on the script size.
I run it for testing on six different install paths and some times
they all work. Then when I add something to the script, some
paths fail while others still work. It also happens sometimes that
it finishes the startup but that certain buttons doesn't respond.

I don't have any of these issues on Windows 2000 and XP with
exactly the same scripts and develop environment.

Thanks for your response,

Chris
