Cannot Profile Program Compiled in Programming Environment

ID: Q95432

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual Basic Standard and Professional Editions for MS-DOS, version 1.0

SYMPTOMS

You can get the following Profiler error if you linked your program with the Executable Pack option (/EX):

PROFILE : fatal error PR1501: The program cannot be profiled because it has been processed with EXEPACK

Page 291 of the Professional Edition of the "Microsoft Visual Basic for MS-DOS Professional Features" manual demonstrates how to prepare a program for profiling by building the program in the programming environment. This method always causes the above error when profiling because the programming environment automatically adds the /EX option.

WORKAROUND

The only workaround is to build the program from the MS-DOS prompt, which is also demonstrated on Page 291.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Professional Edition of Microsoft Visual Basic version 1.0 for MS-DOS. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
