Hi Malcolm and Peter,

Thank you both for replying. Yes, you would think that the components would work under Windows 7 as well, especially since, as Malcolm wrote, components are supposed too support all current Windows versions. I do understand that there may be certain components that may be specific to a given OS, however, I'm only using the most basic components to test for a large program that I'm preparing to undertake.

So I'm using FDConnection, FDQuery, DBGrid, a few TButtons, to control the connection, and TLabels. That's it. Works great on Windows 10, but Windows 7, not! I must admit that it is very disheartening that a program as simple as a form with the components described fails due to some obscure Windows DLL.

When I search on it, I see a bunch of junk as well. So... what is the solution, I haven't figured it out yet. I'll post when I find a confident solution.

Finally, as a side note this post, when I first built the program it failed to run on other WIn 10 machines. I ended up having to use InstallAware's Scan feature to actually gather a "Whole" bunch of other DLL's. These other DLL's were NOT listed in the package dependencies shown in the IDE's Information Dialog. And they were "required" for the program to run on a different Windows 10 machine that my build box too!

So somewhere there needs to be a more discussion on the requirements for deploying VCL applications other than the list in radstudio_deploy_XX.htm file, as most of the files InstallAware gathered are not referenced in Embarcadero's documentation? I can list the names of those DLL's if anyone is interested, but it is a long list.

Thank you.

Hi Antonio,

Yeah I found that link too and re-posted it in question form in another forum category to try to get more coverage. I will explore the database client idea you pose. I am using postgresql-9.6.3-3-windows-binaries. This problem of deployment is ongoing for me with more issues than ust this one. But I'm slowly getting it all figured out.

Thank you for the response.
