Paradox Runtime & Distribution Topic

First off, I have been including the pdoxruntime9sp3setup.exe file with my database programs as my source for Paradox Runtime.  Is this the best file, or should I really be using something else? I have had a couple of users indicate that this file contains a virus (Trojan).  This was identified through AVG although I'm finding that Trend Micro also identifies a virus or at least remnants of one.  However checks using Symantec, McAfee and Kaspersky do not indicate any threats.  Can someone tell me if there actually is a virus or not?  I believe it is the AxDistEx.exe file that is in questions.  I have seen mention of this issue in one other post, but its not clear to me why some virus programs are picking this up and some are not.

Under certain conditions I recieve the following error when closing a database "The PfW Runtime has stopped working"   , , This occurs when I open a database with the following switches (Sample shortcut command), , "C:\Program Files (x86)\Paradox Runtime\Programs\pdxrwn32.exe" -c -q -wN:\PortData_V11\CoastalAmerican N:\PortData_V11\CoastalAmerican\mainmenu.fdl, , Once the application opens,   it will run as expected until I click the command X on the top right corner of the app window (not the open form, the APP). If I choose File Exit from my menu or if I click the X in the top right of the open form,  it exits properly,  both of those options have code associated with them that shut down the database. Does anyone know the cause of this OR does anyone have a code snippet to intercept the click on the app window? Thanks!

Is it possible to get a copy of the Installation guide for Paradox 9 Runtime? I have not been able to find it anywhere. Actually, it turns out that I also need to get the Paradox 9 Runtime files. I downloaded what I thought were the runtime files from Corel's FTP site, but what I got appears to be Service Packs, which only work with an installed version of the base files. , I am an old Paradox developer supporting a legacy app for a customer who doesn't want to switch. Except for this customer I haven't used Paradox in decades and no longer have any documentation.,

Hi, , Is there some advantage in upgrading an distributable application from Paradox 9 to Paradox 10/11? If yes, can I still buy the versions 10/11, including the runtime? Thanks,

G'day, I have a interesting problem to say the least with Paradox 11 runtime clients. Recently at work we decided that it would be time to move away from Paradox 8 to Paradox 11.  Lots of reasons but mainly to overcome some bugs we experienced in version 8. All our users run windows XP SP3 and use WordPerfect Office X3 standard and yesterday I installed the Paradox 11 runtime clients on all our PC's.  The shipping version of the client is 11.0.0.233. Heres my problem, I want to install service pack 2 for Paradox runtime but the patch wont install because it wants build version 11.0.0.300. So 2 questions, the service pack that was released does it work for the runtime client and secondly is there a patch for the runtime client that will patch me up to build 300 or 302?

I installed the BDE on the network, now the proble is whenever I try to create a distribution package and select the runtime files it also include the BDE. The install programs now overwrites the previous install of the BDE. , 1)Can the runtime files be installed on the network or does it have to be locally distributed?, 2)If Locally distributed, how can I prevent the BDE from being selected?, 3)If I do an uninstall it removes the BDE from the network, unchecking the uninstall feature only prevents the registry entries from being removed, can this be blocked?, 4)Where can I find out which files are included in the runtime files so I can use install shield instead of the the distribution expert and also which ones should be registered.

Has anyone experienced trouble with Navigation bars giving trouble in Runtime9 ? I have a Calendar by Leon Chalnick which works fine on Paradox9 but plays up on PDXRT. I'm hoping that the Word Perfect SP4 will sort the problem out, anyone like to comment on their experience ?, Cheers,, Paul

We have installed runtime on a computer and by error used a network drive for the program. Now we are trying to update the program and at the same time putting it on the local drive. The install program will not let us go to the local drive and defaults to the network drive. I have not been able to un-install the program completely to start over. Is there some registry that needs to be deleated or changed?, Thanks, Rick J, rjasperson@vhminfo.com

Paradox really puzzles me, a lot.  I am trying to create a launcher with tabs for my Forms, Reports and Queries.  I used the Launcher Expert but it will not let me re-size the form to the desktop.  The option "Size to desktop" is checked off under preferences but the form will not comply.  When I move the form in Run mode to the place I would like it to be on the screen and then run it, it automatically changes to the original settings where the top of the form is almost at half the page.  When I hit design mode again it stays at the wrong settings.  I don't have this problems with any of my other forms but this is the only one I have used the Launcher Expert to create.  Any ideas?  I could just create it from a blank form but I'm trying to avoid programming all those buttons, I have a lot.  Thanks,  Teresa

I have a multi-user Paradox 9 application running on a Windows 2000 platform. One of my users gets an error when they log out that says they can not save the following files:, , PDX_EN_RUN_bars.cfg, PDX_EN_RUN_sbar.cfg, , Any ideas?

I would like Runtime to have no menu. Is there some code to do this on a opening script or is there a switch? Much appreciated., PS. Rehack is the way to go for own Icon.

Is anyone aware of a Runtime distribution utility for Paradox 10 runtime? I have been using the expert for Paradox 9 but several of my clients are going to 10 but are experiencing problems with the delivered software.

Could anyone help me to use my own Icon in a Runtime application., Thanks,

Background, I am using windows 2000 and paradox version 7. , I have a successfully programmed a paradox form to communicate with Excel via objectpal and DDE. When my users access the form via their pdox runtime version 7 they receive the general protection error dialog box and asked to abort. Any ideas?

Is there anyway to change the Title and/or Icon of the paradox runtime application?

Has anybody been able to append their own splash using the PDE but not thru application framework ?, Cheers,, Paul

Hi everybody,, Does anyboby know where Paradox 10 runtime is to be downloaded?, I tried to download it using the link included in ReleaseNotes.htm from the installation CD but the link isn't actual anymore., Thanks a lot!
