I have recently ventured into creating retail software, and have found a few things out in the process one of which I hope someone can shed some light on! I created a program using Delphi 7 build 4.435 not build 8.1, I currently have over 100 customers with my program installed onto their systems 75%-80% are all XP home and Pro while the rest are 98 and 98 se. out of the 75%-80% XP users I have had 2 come back to me and state that my program starts up encounters a fatal error then shuts down with little description of the error (exception 0x0eedfade) I was able to narrow it down to the Application.Initialize code, when it creates the "Main" form I get an exception. Since this is done in the Initialize code I am not able to receive ANY type of informative error. I removed the code that was in the Create section of the form same error occurs I did the same with show, paint and resize same issue. I also read awhile back that Delphi had some issues with createform() but I don't remember what the solution was / is or if this is my problem. What would be the next thing I need to focus on?

The hard part of this I am not able to visit the site and field test the system it is running on in order to get the full understanding of the problem. The weird thing is the 2 systems that are having the issue are the same type of computers with specs almost identical to my test bed computer give or take some applications. I have tried Eurkalog with no success since it will not trap exceptions in the Application.Initialize code, it just generates a fatal error. Any Ideas?

Thanks
