Mesa 2002 cycle analysis for financial markets.

[⭐ Atomo12345]

This is an old software for the cycle analysis for financial markets.
20 Years ago I try it and it was run very well. I try now it and  at the open of the program it say:

Run-time error '5':
Invalid procedure call or argument

and then it's close it.

if someone can fix this error I think that Mesa2002 is an interesting program to try.
Thank you very mutch.

This setup file is a 16-bit executable and will not run on more recent Windows operating systems.

You are wrong. This is a Microsoft Visual Basic(5.0)32 bit executable.
If it were a 16 bit program,it would be impossible to install on Windows 11, furthermore it also run but whit the error above mentioned.
I will try to debug the error with x64dbg.
Greetings.

Ok the setup.exe for the installation of Mesa2002 is a 16 bit program but it run very well on Windows 11 Enterprise 24h2 and it allows to install correctly the software.

Hi i am getting this error on windows 11. Any idea how to fix?

16 bit applications are not able to run on Windows 11 as native.

Third party software can emulate an older machine and allow a 64-bit machine to run these types of apps.

Here is a free app:

Spoiler

 

thanks will check with that

It is pretty basic to use, but there are also YouTube videos on winevdm as well.

WinXP on a Virtual machine is a way out. Try VitualBox from Oracle, its free. Any way, you need a WInXP ISO to make it work.

Mesa2002 is not a 16 bit program but a 32 bit program write in Visual Basic.

This image file prove it.

There is an internal error that don't do run the program.

Someone can try to debug it.

You are correct that it is a 32 bit program, but it was meant to run in WIndows 95 under Visual Basic 5. The program doesn't execute because it is trying to run a 16  bit command in a VB5 DLL. If you install an emulator like the one I quoted earlier or install the one I use called NTVDM at https://github.com/leecher1337/ntvdmx64 the program will run and prompt you for the registration code. You can then use the keygen program to generate your code. I just tried this and was able to run the program with no errors.

[⭐ Atomo12345]

At the end of the installation ntvdmx64 asks for the folder dos and relative files, that in my system is not present.

Please FredUrble can you post your folder dos present in your system?

I suppose that after installed ntvdmx64 , you can run in Windows 11 any 16 bit software.

Thank you very mutch.

NTVDM was originally meant to allow for running DOS programs in 64 bit modes. In 2020, they added the ability to run 16-bit Windows apps, which is what MESA2002 needs. Here is the section of notes from the github site. Perhaps you may want to run WINEVDM instead.

I want to run 16bit Windows applications
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As of 05/2020, NTVDMx64 now generally supports WOW32, so your applications 
should run.
However, they currently only work with the CCPU build and we know that the
CCPU is slow, so I still recommend wineVDM:
	https://github.com/otya128/winevdm
The loader tries to detect if winevdm is installed and if so, it gets
precedence over NTVDMx64. If you restore original registry entries, WOW32
will be handled by NTVDMx64 again.
The crucial registry key for the check is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NtVdm64\0OTVDM
If it is present, NTVDMx64 won't load its WOW32 implementation.
Please note, that detection of the key is done upon inital load of ldntvdm.dll
into the process address space, so if you toggle the 0OTVDM, the process where
you are launching your 16 bit application from needs to be restarted.
If unsure, you can reboot your machine after installation/uninstallation of
WineVDM handlers.

To debug wow32, before launching your application:
set WOWTRACE=C:\log.txt
set WOWLOGLVL=16

For more detailled information about debugging, please refer to 
doc\debug-wow.txt

Here is the NTVDM folder on my WIndows 11 machine after the download and copy into a folder called NTVDM.

The "dos" folder is showing up here. Did you run the install.bat after downloading the app?

[⭐ Atomo12345]

Simply the program NTVDMx64 in the below link don't work.

https://github.com/leecher1337/ntvdmx64

Download the program from this link below:

I try Mesa2002 and,cracked, it run very well.

Now we can run any old version of 16 bit programs on Windows 11.

Thank you very mutch FredUrble.
