I have recently got exp20 version and trying to run the build20.bat file.

this File is for Xbase++ v2.0x

[rdonnay]

What version of Xbase++ are you using?

[ampandya]

Xbase++ Version 1.82

Jimmy said i need to use XBase++ 2.0x.

I had been given XB folder by the previous developer, i am in process of updating this becase i have recently bought support for express++ 2.

Do you think it would be easy to update xbase++?

Many Thanks

[rdonnay]

I will need to make some changes to the code to make it compile in 1.82.

Let me see what I can do for you.

[rdonnay]

I needed to make a few source code changes to make eXpress++ compile in 1.82.

Please confirm that the attached files work for you and if they do, I will also give you the updated source files.

There are features that are documented in eXpress++ 1.9 and above that will not work in 1.82 due to the fact that these features depended on features of Xbase++ 1.9 or 2.0.

Create a folder named \exp20\bin182 and extract all the files to that folder.
Change your path to point to the \exp20\bin182 folder when running your applications.

Hi
using these file, my program compile correctly and exe was generated but when run it
the error related to XPPRT1.DLL came up.

Thanks

[rdonnay]

I don't understand this error.

I have to try to reproduce the error.

[rdonnay]

I think your problem may be your .LIB files.

Those in your eXpress++ installation were built with Xbase++ 2.0.

Here are some .LIB files that were built with 1.82.
