It appears to work on both 23 and 64 bit windows 7 without any issues.</p>\r\n<p>To confirm the files are extracted correctly I can execute the command manually.</p>\r\n<p>I am a bit of a loss as to how to investigate things further, does anybody have any ideas?</p>\r\n<p>thanks for your help.</p>\r\n<p>adam</p>\r\n",

    "Html": "\r\n<p>sv.exe - that thing is a file you extract from the zip, is that right?</p>\r\n<p>it could be that it depends on a DLL that is not present on Windows XP, or at least not on the Windows XP box you're trying it on.</p>\r\n<p>What happens if you just unzip the SFX, rather than execute it? &nbsp;(you can rename the .exe to a .zip, and it should open as a normal zip file).</p>\r\n<p>Once you unzip the sv.exe, can you run it?&nbsp; If not, then what is the error?&nbsp; If it is a dependency issue, one way to track it down is to download the free dependency walker tool , and install it on Windows XP.&nbsp; Start depends.exe, then load&nbsp;the\r\n sv.exe file into it.&nbsp; This will show you what libraries are missing in the dependency chain.</p>\r\n<p>Another possibility is that the sv.exe file is being run before it is &quot;ready&quot; - it could be locked by an anti-virus program running on the Windows XP box. And for some reason the other machines don't have this problem - either they have faster CPUs and disks\r\n that don't present the problem, or they have a different anti-virus, or something like that.</p>\r\n<p>I'm just guessing here - you'll have to do some more work to diagnose it.</p>\r\n",
