EXE not running on windows XP ( neither on sp1 or sp2)

[Guest patola]

i have been working with an exe which talks to a client (which can be the

same machine or a different machine with different IP address). in this

client server talk i also configured the ports on firewall exception list.

but the EXE doesnt run at all until the firewall is on. please advise wat can

be done.

This is Windows x64 you're having this problem?

 

What is the program?

 

What is your hardware?

thanks for replying theo

 

i dint get you..how do we know which kind of windows is it...however i can

tell u this windows XP professional SP2 machine...the program is a tool

created in VC++ 5.0 nad the hardware concerned with this tool are contollers

and sensors which comes in picture online after the connection is

successfully established, so we need not go into that.

 

the requirement is first the successful connection of server and socket

which is not happening if the firewall is on in "services.msc". however just

to confirmed we have already checked with tcpview.exe the ports getting used

in this communication and have added those in firewall exception list but its

proving to be of no help.

I will presume you are not running Windows x64 and this

forum is for 64-bit Windows operating systems.

 

Since you have a problem with a 3rd party software, you need

to contact the company the software comes from and get

Technical support from them for your problem.

 

It is virtually impossible to try and figure what is wrong

with a mysterious program.

Are you sure VC5 is compiling for XP? It's been a while now, but I was sure

it couldn't do that unless you program for the W2K API - and the network

API's and subsystems changed considerably between W2K and XP, I understand.

 

Beyond that, I have no idea.

 

Try posting to a XP networking group.

 

Perhaps:
