Running 32bit console application at boot up

[aceraven777]

I made a 32bit console application in c++, it is possible to run it at boot up and then boot to windows OS.

If you boot to dos, run the program, then restart and boot to windows (assuming its an NT version of windows and not a 9x - 2000)

Otherwise, have fun reading.

Run it at boot up. You mean run the windows bootlo..




No.

Without making huge changes to your application, almost certainly not (your program runs under Windows so far, right?).

If you mean, running a 32-bit Windows Console application before booting into windows; obviously it's not logical, unless you refine your question.

On the other hand, this is not Windows How-To forum, as other mentioned.

I once could run "well behaved" (= not made with M$ tools) Win32 console applications in my OS. I no longer actively support it as I integrated native support in OpenWatcom. The main problem is to support all the (often unnecesary) functions that the linker / compiler adds by default. Newer M$ tools drags in most of Win32, so you are not likely to get that to run ever, unless you use Wine or some other advanced Windows emulator.

@rdos:

Do you even realize how completely beside the point your posting is? Or does your need to brag at every opportunity eclipse that completely?
