Delphi and XP embedded

Question

Does anybody know if Delphi (Win32) works with XP embedded

Answer 1

In general, it seems to work (example Delphi program for XPE), but there could be some problems when using some specific libraries (i.e. XML) where XP embedded could differ from an usual XP installation.

Answer 2

Yes it does, is the short answer

We use Delphi 5 with WePos (windows embedded for point of sale) and it works fine.

Running Interbase 5.5 via the BDE

The only thing we have to do is install an extra file. the file is called "libraryfiles.exe" , not very descriptive I know, here is more info to help you find it

Ascentive Libary Files

Version: 2.0.0.24

Product name: Libraryfiles Install Program

Answer 3

I recently finished a project with an ActiveForm, making heavy use of OpenGL and has a ton of third party libraries inside and everything works like a charm on XP embedded.

BTW, I wasn't told that this thing was meant to run on XP embedded...

Answer 4

XP Embedded is XP, with the ability to remove lots of stuff. Almost anything that runs on XP can be made to run on XPE. Often the key is finding the libraries as @Re0sless did.
