I have an application builded with Run-time Packages. When the executable starts it auto loads the required packages (.bpl).

Recently we has installed an Windows 2008 R2 server to use as Terminal Services.

We maintain some old compiled versions of our application in different paths, like this:

c:\app\version_1\common.bpl
c:\app\version_1\app.exe

c:\app\version_2\common.bpl
c:\app\version_2\app.exe

Common.bpl is the a run-time package what app.exe depends on.

THE PROBLEM:

I start "c:\app\version_2\app.exe" and it loads "c:\app\version_2\common.bpl". When I start the "c:\app\version_1\app.exe" it loads the WRONG bpl (from version_2).

The path "c:\app\version_2\" isn't at the system search path.

At Windows2003 server this problem doesn't occurs.

What can I do to solve this?

Thanks!


I have downloaded the Process Explorer (microsoft sysinternals), and checked the loaded modules of each executable, all they are correct!

But I noticed another problem. After start the second version, an entry-not-found-error occurs, telling me what a initialization entry point, of an unit what only exists in one of the versions, could not be found.

Something is very strange. The ProcessExplorer is telling me that the process is loading the correct modoles, but when they are running this seems not be happening.

Seems the applications are sharing the loaded modules.


SOLVED

There was a MouseHook using FindVCLWindow, this was generating the AV.

Sorry about inconvenience guys, and thanks!
