There is a video from Alaska showing how side-by-side-installations of 2.0 and older versions should work (in english): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgXAWilI410

Switching is easy, most of the code should work. Remember to build your ressource files new und recompile everything. Use the correct LIBs when doing this. Make sure all 3rd-party-DLLs built with/for special Xbase++ versions are renewed (like Xb2.net or SQLexpress) or rebuild (eXpress++).

Some presentation parameters are working slightly different. XBP_PP_COL_DA_ROWHEIGHT and XBP_PP_COL_DA_CELLHEIGHT for XbpBrowse do need an offset of 7 pixels each. Everything else is caught by eXpress++ since Roger reflects all the differences in there.

Hi!

Can there be a conflict between the *.ch;*. dll;*. lib files of Alaska 2.0 and Express++?

If you remove all the types from the program: #include "appevent.ch", then can the compiler itself write which ch files are missing?

How do I make compiler 2.0 show the numbers of compiled strings?

What could be the reason for such a message?

Can there be a conflict between the *.ch;*. dll;*. lib files of Alaska 2.0 and Express++?

No. eXpress++ NEVER replaces or supercedes anything in Xbase++.
All eXpress++ files start with DC* and all functions and classes start with DC*.

When you are working with 2 versions of Xbase++ you should make sure that NO Xbase++ files or eXpress++ files exist in your working folder.
Instead, eXpress++ files should only be in the c:\exp20\ folders and Xbase++ files should be in the Xbase++ installation folders.
You should use the Windows environment variables SET PATH, SET INCLUDE, SET LIB to point to the eXpress++ and Xbase++ files.

I see this problem all the time with customers who don't use the Windows environment properly.

Thank you very much, Roger! I understand! It's just as you say!

Hi! I have already decided to completely switch to Alaska 2.0 + Express++ and no longer use 1.9. it Seems that I made all the correct environment variables: "start-Computer-Properties-Additional system parameters-environment Variables". Deleted all *. ch;*. dll;*. lib files everywhere except the Alaska 2.0 and Express++folders. Small programs began to compile and get a normal executable exe file. But you still get the error message shown below. Could you tell me what else you need to do?

I have exp20261.exe 2015. Maybe you need to update it?

I don't see any error message.

I don't see an error message either.

Is the file GournalPdf a script file? The output looks like a list of files from the script file that it is reading and using.

Is an EXE file actually being produced?

the exe file is being created. The source text is attached

the exe file is being created. The source text is attached

Then why are you saying there is an error?
