Hello guys

I'm trying to run an old PKWARE software in windows xp with sp2, but keep getting "Runtime Error 200" everytime I try to do it...

I've searched the net, but can't seem to find any solution, does anybody know of a way to make it work?

I've tried both guides with no success. When trying to run compatibility mode, no matter what combinations I use the program opens quickly in a dos based window and then closes again.

When trying to use tppatch I get a message that reads like this: Überprüfe die Datei ...filename.exe ist keine von TP7/BP7 erzeugte Datei. - translated meaning "Examine the file... filename.exe is none of TP7/BP7 produced file."

I'm guessing I'm gonna have go buy some old pentium 1 mashine with windows 3.11 in order to run this program lol :(
 
You might want to try modifying the autoexec.nt and/or config.nt files in the %systemroot%\System32 directory... the config.nt file at least, possibly increasing the file handles from files=40 to files=100. Something along the lines of...

EMM = B=4000 RAM
dos=high, umb
device=%SystemRoot%\system32\himem.sys
files=100


...and in autoexec.nt have:

REM Install DPMI support
LH %SystemRoot%\system32\dosx


...with other LH lines REM'ed out, and then any SET or PATH lines that may already be present at the end. This should give about 612K for a program, run from a shortcut made to its .exe file. Right click the shortcut, and select "Properties" | On the "Memory" page, you can set an explicit value (rather than "Auto") for any EMM or XMS memory it may need, and for initial environment space.

Didn't work :(

I tried using a DOS emulator without any luck, I even tried with VMware, creating a virtual dos maschine and a windows 95 machine. None of them work, I get different errors like runtime error 002 and 005.

I think I should propably give up
