Compile issues

[armyman]

Ok, so i've written a code and it works perfectly when not compiled. It works perfectly compiled on the machine that it was written on. When I try to run it on another machine (exact same build) it seems to be freezing up or getting lost somewhere within the code (sorry its hard to explain).

Using Windows 7 (32 bit), on both computers.

Want to make sure I'm compiling it correctly.

I'm using the "Compile Script to .exe" program. The code is broken up into several pieces to compartmentalize its execution. So when I compile it, I compile the main code that contains all the #includes.

Are there any known issues? Do I need to mess with the compression ratio?

This is the only forum I could find with a similar issue:

Thanks in advance

Please give your code. Don't make us guess your code error!

Sorry, was hoping someone already had this issue and knew what it was since I don't receive any error messages or anything. But here's a snippit of my code.

This code shows the same behavior as my much longer code. It works fine un-compiled and compiled (.exe) file on the system it was written on. But seems to freeze up on a system (with the same build, Win 7 (32 bit).

Also once the code "freezes" if you double click the highlighted setting in group policy the code will then continue to run, but may or may not "freeze" again. If you repeat the steps mentioned above the code may or may not "fully function". Hope this makes sense, if not I'll try to clarify more.

Thanks

I noticed that you're using the script to modify the settings in gpedit, have you tried just copying the contents of "C:\Windows\System32\Group Policy" to each computer and rebooting? Set up one computer the way you want it, then copy that to each machine.

Will this actually be reflected in Group Policy? I'll give it a try tomorrow and see what happens.
