Hi, Thanks for the reply. For the production build I am using PerlApp 6.0.2 - but for the testing of this issue I am using PerlApp 7.0.0 build 277058 which should have the fix that was mentioned in bug 36715. I've also tried turning DEP and messed with other Vista settings and it still fails.
I've also built Win32::GUI from the code repository. It enters the (win32 API) function GetOpenFileName and just exits, no error message, no crash. (BTW using the latest version of activestate perl you can just use the normal makefile.pl with Mingw as it spots GCC is installed). I have also found another function that causes the same problem: GetSaveFileName - this is potentially more serious as the work around in using -explorer => 0 doesn't seem to work. I have to use the --dyndll option so will do more testing/debugging before reporting the issue to Activestate.
