problem with created exe

[jshipley45]

Hello. I am having problems with the exe created by my vb app...

I am getting the following error message:

The C:\blah\blah\blah.exe file appears to be corrupt. Reinstall the file, and then try again.

And another error message in a seperate box that says:

Windows cannot run this program because it is in an invalid format

The app is pretty large and it contains a large resource file as well.... any suggestions???

It compiles fine and creates the exe and runs fine in design mode.

i dont think vb can contain resource files over 64kb...

I've had resource files over 2 megs that worked fine

What are you using to read the resource file? If you look up the function "LoadResData" ... In the Remarks section it states "The data that LoadResData loads from the resource file can be up to 64K."

The program runs fine in design mode. I have other apps I've written with .Res files well over 64K that are being used by hundreds of people with no problems.

That means that the function can only return 64k of data. The whole file can contain much more.

The program runs perfectly in design mode and fully compiles.
