Hello,

Can you do a win32 build as I get an error saying winff.exe is not a valid win32 application.

WinFF-1.5.5-Setup.exe

Cheers Greg

I have just compiled a Win32 buiuld of WinFF. You can put it instead of the installed winff.exe and try whether it works (works on my Windows 7 machine, doubtlessly 32-bit but not tested on a 32-bit only machine).

"The reference was returned from the server"

is generally a deliberately cryptic message from Windows 10 Smart Screen, intended to prevent you from using third-party software.

You have to right-click on the executable, run the assistant, and answer that the program needs more permissions. After one or more tests, it will work.

I downloaded my 32-bit executable from the link, executed it from my Downloads folder (Lazarus.FPC executables need no dependency) and it still worked on windows 7

It's Windows 7, I did not think about enabling admin rights, the first time I encountered such an error. Now works, thank you;)

I downloaded it again, and It works on my Windows 7. But it is probably set to a lower "security" level than yours.

1. Did you notice the file is in a .zip and must be extracted beforehand? Some users don't see the extensions because they keep the "hide extension" Windows Explorer default feature.
