Windows binary won't run.

Question

Windows binary won't run.

Closed this issue 5 years ago · 4 comments

Previous version was running fine on Windows XP (in cmd window or via .bat file).

Version 1.0 won't, it says "not valid Win32 program". Is it perhaps 64bit only?

Yeah, I think I did compile it as a 64-bit binary this time. Had no idea that anyone was running it in a 32-bit environment. It will compile just fine in a 32-bit environment, though.

No "biggie", I use a Windows XP machine for most of my programming (32 bit), a lot quicker to use than some other newer machines in this household.
It's not a program that really requires 64-bits, and 64-bit Windows do run 32-bit applications? So if it was compiled and offered in bin as 32-bit, nobody would have a problem, right? ;-)
Was just surprised that it wasn't working when the previous version did.

Yeah, I wouldn't have changed it consciously since the 32-bit version has the widest compatibility, but my development environment has changed since previous versions and the windows cross-compiler is now a 64-bit one.

I'll add a win32 binary to the release page when I have a change to compile one.

A 32-bit binary has been added to the releases page: https://github.com/JeffAlyanak/pcm2pwm/releases/tag/v1.0
