Delphi XE2 - Company Business System Application, errors when running on Win 7

I have an application that I develop for my company, that is basically our main business system, including ERP/MRP/CRM, etc.

Recently, I've migrated my development environment to Delphi XE2 (I still develop on a Win XP computer).  I use the PDAC VCL component library to connect to a Pervasive Server Engine, via the installed Client Engine on each computer.

Do to the amount of errors that my program is getting, and because I have had no luck in "capturing" and handling the errors with exception handling, I decided to try "MadExcept" within my Delphi project.  I love the ability of MadExcept to capture any and all errors and submit "bug reports" to me directly via email.  However, I am having a difficult time isolating exactly what is causing the errors, even with the bug reports.  I guess I need to go back to school, so that I can read assembler code, or something, but I was hoping by posting one of these "bug reports" someone could give me a clue, to help figure out what is causing the issues.  I do know that the issues are sometimes related to Rave reports, and  I do not intend to just re-write the reports, as that would be quite an undertaking.  Rave is available for XE4, Embarcadero's latest release, so I feel comfortable keeping Rave for my reports.

I'm attaching a file to this post, for review of a couple of bug reports.  Please tell me if any of you can decipher these and help me on my way to debugging my application.

TIA,
Brent

I have attempted resolve the issue that I was led to by both Expert Comments, however, as soon as that error stopped, another one popped up:

Any idea about this one???
It seems an exception occurs in one of the unit's initializaion sections.
Is there an initialization section in the unit ACSIManufacturing?
That is the source unit of the program.  Nothing very special about it.
Here's the code:

put a break point on line 94 and check which line gives the exception please
I apologize for the delay.  I manage all of the IT at the company I work for (one man show), so I've been busy most of the day.

I will do this and after testing and getting the error, I'll post the error details (line number).

Thanks,
Brent

@sinisav:

I've used the code this way for years.  It keeps my app from loading if the version of the program is older than the newer one.  However, I'll try your suggestion and see if that helps.  I find it strange that this would cause a problem only with Windows 7.  The program runs fine on XP Pro.

I guess that makes sense, because it needs to be able to free those objects no matter what, and the initialization of the program should technically be first.

I'll let you know how it goes.  Thanks!
Ok, after performing the changes and re-compiling.  I placed the updated application on the single user's computer.  It's been working without any problems for most of the day.  Then when she closed the program, it threw an exception.  However, I'd already tested closing it without any problems.

I've been programming in Delphi for years.  However, since I have had no debugging issues like this, I'm kinda out of my league on this.  So again, I must ask you to please review the bug report, and tell me what you can deduce is wrong.

I'm happy to provide code from the application, I just need to know which units are the culprits, that might need looking into first.
please move line Application.CreateForm(TMainForm, MainForm) before Application.CreateForm(TDM, DM) and change LoadingForm:= TLoadingForm.Create(Application) to LoadingForm:= TLoadingForm.Create(nil). This is because delphi set first form created with Application as owner to main form of application. When this main form is closed - app is closed and I think that MainForm is real main form in your case.


begin
  //ReportMemoryLeaksOnShutdown := DebugHook <> 0;
  Application.Initialize;
  LoadingForm:= TLoadingForm.Create(nil);  //changed
  LoadingForm.show;
  LoadingForm.update;
  FV := TrsFileVersion.Create;
  Stringlist:= TStringlist.create;
  Stringlist.LoadFromFile(VersionFile);
  if not CheckPreviousInstance.RestoreIfRunning(Application.Handle, 1) then
  begin
    If FV.GetFileVersion('acsimanufacturing.exe') then begin
      If FV.Version < Stringlist.Strings[0] then begin
        Showmessage('Incorrect program version!  Please click "Next" when prompted to install newer version.');
        WinExec('\\AUTCON2\SYS6\drivers\custom applications\acsimanufacturing\setup.exe', 1);
        Sleep(350);
      end else begin
        Application.Title := 'ACSI Manufacturing';
        Application.CreateForm(TMainForm, MainForm);   //moved     
        Application.CreateForm(TDM, DM);        
        Application.CreateForm(TFormViewResults, FormViewResults);
        Application.CreateForm(TBarcodeLabelsForm, BarcodeLabelsForm);
    //  Application.CreateForm(TFormEditVerifySubassemblyParts, FormEditVerifySubassemblyParts);
        Application.CreateForm(TFormNewEmployee, FormNewEmployee);
        Application.CreateForm(TFormSystemNumberSplit, FormSystemNumberSplit);
        Application.CreateForm(TAttachedFileDesignationForm, AttachedFileDesignationForm);
        Application.CreateForm(TSetPricedPartsForm, SetPricedPartsForm);
        Application.CreateForm(TSendEmailForm, SendEmailForm);
        Application.CreateForm(TCloneFOForm, CloneFOForm);
        Application.CreateForm(TPrintForm, PrintForm);
        //Application.CreateForm(TFormPrintLandscape, FormPrintLandscape);
        LoadingForm.Hide;
        Application.Run;
      end;
    end;
  end;
  FV.Free;
  Stringlist.Free;
  LoadingForm.Free;
end.

...as result of these changes there is one thing - in create event of main form (MainForm) you must not use something from data module (DM) but rather in OnShow event.
@sinisav:
I did what you said, and yes I did have to modify my onCreate event for the MainForm a little, and put that code from that event into my onShow.  Everything seem to be running ok.  If it works without fail, I'll be awarding you.  Thanks so much!

I have to leave the office for personal reasons today, so I won't respond until Monday.  Have a great weekend!
on a side note
Datamodules do not get set as a main form, even when loaded first

if you want to compare the version ... 2 strings, then why not offload to a string
var 
   FV : TrsFileVersion;
   Stringlist : TStringlist;  
   Ver1, Ver2: string;
begin
  //ReportMemoryLeaksOnShutdown := DebugHook <> 0;
  Ver1 := '1.0.0.0';
  Ver2 := 'missing';
  Application.Initialize;
  LoadingForm:= TLoadingForm.Create(nil);  //changed
  try
    LoadingForm.show;
    LoadingForm.update;
    if not CheckPreviousInstance.RestoreIfRunning(Application.Handle, 1) then
    begin
      Stringlist := TStringlist.create;
      try
        Stringlist.LoadFromFile(VersionFile);
        Ver1 := StringList[0];
      finally
        StringList.Free;
      end;
      FV := TrsFileVersion.Create;
      try
        If FV.GetFileVersion('acsimanufacturing.exe') then 
          Ver2 := FV.Version;
      finally
        FV.Free;
      end;
      If  Ver2 < Ver1 then 
      begin
        Showmessage('Incorrect program version!  Please click "Next" when prompted to install newer version.');
        WinExec('\\AUTCON2\SYS6\drivers\custom applications\acsimanufacturing\setup.exe', 1);
        Sleep(350);
      end 
        else 
      begin
        Application.Title := 'ACSI Manufacturing';
        Application.CreateForm(TMainForm, MainForm);   //moved     
        Application.CreateForm(TDM, DM);        
        Application.CreateForm(TFormViewResults, FormViewResults);
        Application.CreateForm(TBarcodeLabelsForm, BarcodeLabelsForm);
    //  Application.CreateForm(TFormEditVerifySubassemblyParts, FormEditVerifySubassemblyParts);
        Application.CreateForm(TFormNewEmployee, FormNewEmployee);
        Application.CreateForm(TFormSystemNumberSplit, FormSystemNumberSplit);
        Application.CreateForm(TAttachedFileDesignationForm, AttachedFileDesignationForm);
        Application.CreateForm(TSetPricedPartsForm, SetPricedPartsForm);
        Application.CreateForm(TSendEmailForm, SendEmailForm);
        Application.CreateForm(TCloneFOForm, CloneFOForm);
        Application.CreateForm(TPrintForm, PrintForm);
        //Application.CreateForm(TFormPrintLandscape, FormPrintLandscape);
        LoadingForm.Hide;
        Application.Run;
      end;
    end;
  finally
    LoadingForm.Free;
  end;
end.

it's all a matter of scope
The stringlist is only needed to get the version from a file
The FV is only needed to get the exe file version
Limiting an object to the scope it's used for always helps in avoiding memory leaks

string variables in the .dpr source are not considered as objects
The program has become even more unstable.  I will go ahead and award points now, because I was given direction, that hopefully will lead me to debug the program completely.  But due to time constraints with other projects, I just haven't had the time to work through all the issues thus far.

Thanks to everyone for their help!

Since the experts here have helped me to understand how to troubleshoot using MadExcept, I am awarding points, and closing this posting, even though my problem(s) persist.  I don't know if Delphi XE2, is unstable, or if it's the PDAC, RAVE, or what, but I may have to do a bit more testing before I can determine what is causing all of the problems.

Thanks to all who chimed in, and tried to help!
