In simpler terms: Autodata—particularly versions released before 2015—was designed for Windows XP, Vista, or Windows 7. When run on Windows 10, its older runtime libraries clash with Microsoft’s modern security and memory management systems.
Fixed by installing older Borland Database Engine (BDE) and registering midas.dll manually. Also, disabling Data Execution Prevention (DEP) for that specific .exe helped. autodata runtime error 217 at 00580d29 windows 10 full
Any ideas on what might be causing this? I’ve read that Runtime error 217 can be related to corrupted registry entries, missing DLLs, or issues with Borland Delphi runtime (I think AutoData was built with Delphi). autodata runtime error 217 at 00580d29 windows 10 full
