Question

How to deploy a Delphi Soap Client (.EXE) on a Windows XP/Windows 2003?

Answer 1

A:

Some troubleshooting suggestions.

Can you browse to the web service from a web browser? If not, you have a connectivity problem.

If this works, I would build a bare bones client that consumes the web service and calls a couple of methods but doesn't read from or write to any external files.

The program does not read or write files. It just calls a web service and write the return value into a TMemo object. I can access the web service from IE just fine. The same program works as expected when I ran it on a server which already had Delphi Websnap DLLs running.

Without knowing more, I suggest you use RRUZ's suggestion and use an exception logger to find out exactly what's failing to narrow down the cause.

Answer 2

+4 A:

Just a guess: If the client was built with D7, that runtime will AV on machines with DEP enabled. See the following link for more information:

 groups.google.com/group/borland.public.delphi.webservices.soap/msg/b19f3c2681de50f4

You can disable DEP for just that client (or system-wide) on the Win 2003 machine to see if that's the issue:

And if it is, you can download a SOAP runtime fix from here:

I was going to say DEP - we had this problem with a postcode SOAP lookup program on 2003. Switched DEP off for our program, everything became fine.

Great! Thanks Bruneau. DEP was the issue. It works fine with DEP turned on only for Windows Services!
