No error message when trying to start incompatible exe

Post by CrouZ »

Steps to repeat:
- Try to start an incompatible exe by having it selected and pressing Enter or by double-clicking on it. In my case the exe is incompatible due to running the 64-bit version of Windows 7 Ultimate.

Behaviour:
- Nothing happens.

Expected behaviour:
- An error message stating that the file is incompatible. This is what happens if you right-click and choose Open (which is marked as the default action), or if you do the same thing in the windows explorer.

User software:
- Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit version
- XYplorer 9.11.0000
