I have a VCL application that is to run on a windows server.  Therefore, it needs to shut down nicely when the server is shutdown or rebooted.  Things worked fine for the application in CppBuilder 6.0.  However, as soon as I ported it to Developer Studio 2006, it will not longer shut down automatically.  When the user chooses to shut down (or restart) windows, they are presented with a End application window that they have to click on to close the app.  Otherwise, the shutdown is stopped.

I created a new test application that consisted only of a VCL form with nothing else.  This also exhibits the same behavior, so it is something with the new envirement and no additional code.

I have reproduced this on XP as well as Windows 2003 Server.

Can anyone help me on this?

I don't know what has changed that would do this.

Sure you could investigate it but why bother.  You will receive a 
WM_QUERYENDSESSION message in the main application window.  Return TRUE to 
Windows.  A WM_ENDSESSION will follow.  Call Application->Terminate() and 
return zero to Windows.
