Hi Gang,

I've got a real hair puller here.  I have developed two BCB5 application
servers on a PC running Windows 2000.  They were developed at different
times and lots of stuff happened between times.

Anyway, I installed both on my new test file server which has Windows NT
4x as the OS.  One of the app. servers runs fine, but when I try to run
the other to register it I get, "<appservername>.exe is not a valid
Windows NT application".  Both of the executables are in the same
directory.

I will swear that at one time I saw a dialog box that let me choose
which platform the app. would run under, but I can't find it.  It's
possible that I selected Windows 98 as the platform on the
malfunctioning server, but I can't seem to locate where I made the
selection.

Anybody know how to get around this?

Regards,
John
