Okay, here's the deal. I bought one of the books that comes with the CD with the compiler on it for C++ Builder X. I installed it, no problems. I registered it, still no problems. Then I clicked on the icon on the desktop to run it, now we have a problem. So I try going through the start menu, same problem. The problem is that when I click on the program to run it, there's a black command box that comes up and prints some stuff to fast to read, then the tan and black box comes up and then they both go away. I tried reinstalling and still am getting the same thing. Please help.

Hello Kathy, Two questions for you: 1. What operating system are you using? 2. When you run CBX from the command prompt (Start | Run, enter "cmd" and press enter, then type "cbuilder" in the console window and press enter again), what is the output? Once I know this I should be able to help you. Take care and hope to hear back soon! -Brian

Ok. The operating system tells me exactly what's happening then. CBX is not supported on Windows 98 or any of the other Win 9.x series. However, there is a workaround. The reason it is failing to run is because of CBuilderNative.dll which is trying to read in environment variables, but due to differences between Win 9.x and Win NT it is not able to do so. Browse to the bin directory inside the CBuilderX installation directory (default is C:\CBuilderX\bin). Find CBuilderNative.dll either rename or delete it to prevent the IDE from using it. Once that is no longer in use start CBX. Once the IDE is up go to Tools | IDE Options and select the variables tab. On this pane will be some variables at the top in bold, and then other below that which were loaded in elsewhere. Make sure that the latter part does indeed show up there. If it is you should be good to go. Take care! -Brian Kathy wrote: > Question 1 - Windows 98 SE > Question 2 - when cmd is typed in the run program I get that file can't be found.

I'm not sure what you mean by this statement in your 2nd response to me."On this pane will be some variables at the top in bold, and then other below that which were loaded in elsewhere. Make sure that the latter part does indeed show up there." I guess the question is more, what are we discussing as the latter part. if you're talking about the file i deleted its not there. However I did get the IDE thing to show up properly, thank you. kathy "Brian Moon [Borland]" <bmoon@borland.com> wrote: >Ok. The operating system tells me exactly what's happening then.

Sorry for the confusion. The latter part is the list of variables that are not in bold. These variables should be loaded by the IDE from a different source than CBuilderNative.dll (which is no longer being used in your environment). Hope that helps clear it up some. -Brian kathy wrote: > I'm not sure what you mean by this statement in your 2nd response to me."On this pane will be some variables at the top in bold, and then other below that which were loaded in elsewhere.

In that case yes everything is as it should be from what I can tell. Thank you very much. "Brian Moon [Borland]" <bmoon@borland.com> wrote: >Sorry for the confusion.
