Exception when Exe is run

[lewisn]

I have created a macro that runs fine from Quick Macros.
When I run the macro exe I get a window with a red circle with a X and the word "exception."
The window just has an OK button.
I am not getting any output to Quick Macros or the log file.
I have added an Excel spreadsheet to the exe with reshack.
The Excel spreadsheet extracts without problem in Quick Macros.
What could be causing this type of error?

I have found that if I create the exe without any resource listed it runs until it tries to extract the resource.

Like this?

Code:

Copy      Help

;/exe
_i/0

;BEGIN PROJECT
;flags  0
;END PROJECT

I am using the ExeResourceToFile and ExeLoadDataResource examples given in the forums.

Exceptions usually are result of bugs in macro code or in QM. But I don't know the exact reason if I don't see the macro code.

Newer QM versions have function ExeExtractFile for extracting exe resources. Try it instead of ExeResourceToFile.

Also now you can add files with #exe. Read in QM help.

The exe works with ExeExtractFile.
Thanks
