Weird problem with combo box

[Wilko Verweij]

This one drives me really mad. Please tell me I'm OK. What I wanted is to get acquainted to the combobox in FireFly. So I started a new project (GUI EXE) and added a combo. Nothing more. Clicked the Compile and Execute button and... there was a progress indicator, but no messagebox, no error message. The program did not run. The .EXE was created however, and when I ran it I got a message that it was not a valid Win32 application. Then I decided to start PBEDIT (after quitting Firefly) and opened the (..)MAIN.BAS file. Got an error message there saying "Error 478 in (0:000):  Resource file error".

It must be something extremely simple but I just don't see it. Any suggestions?

I can honestly say that I have not seen such errors in FF 3.50. Sometimes in 3.1 I would see Resource File errors for no apparent reasons. Weird that an invalid exe is created.

Antivirus software maybe interfering?

If I repeat this on another machine, it compiles without problems...
Thanks anyway,
Wilko

Is the path to the project file the same on both machines? Maybe the one with the error has a long path which the resource compiler cannot handle?
