Description

In win64, (dcc64) the dos stub says it must be run on win32..... <smile>
I really can't test the effect on win7/32 because currently I don't have access to an install.
It should ofcourse report that it must be run on win64, even if the loader is 32 bit.
Can't investigate further. Client location and I do not have XE2 myself.

Steps to Reproduce:

Open a simple dcc64 compiled console program with a hex editor.

Compile this example simply with "dcc64 test.dpr"
<--save as test.dpr>
program test;
{$APPTYPE CONSOLE}
begin
{$IFDEF WIN64}
writeln('This is a 64 bit execuatable');
{$ELSE}
writeln(' This is not a 64 bit executable');
{$ENDIF}
end.
<--- end of test.dpr --->

Now open the 64 bit executable is a good hexeditor like hexapad.
You will see immediately that the message is wrong. The dos stub refers to 32 bit windows!

Could you please attach sample project(including some screenshots) to understand/confirm your issue?

The master report QC 92677 "DOS header still refers to Win32" is a private report and is thatswhy not visible to everyone! So you may receive an error when trying to access that report.
