invalid win32 application

Hi all,
I have a code writen in F77. It was compiled and exicute successfully on my computer. However, I tried to rebuild it and run the exe file (e.g., yin.exe) yesterday. I got an error saying ' yin.exe is not a valid win32 application. This is the build information.

------ Rebuild All started: Project: CheckOriginalSAWS, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
Deleting intermediate files and output files for project 'CheckOriginalSAWS', configuration 'Debug|Win32'.

CheckOriginalSAWS - 0 error(s), 0 warning(s)

I tried a hello wolrd project with for suffix to check my compiler. It works well. I was wondering what happend. I installed g95 in my computer. Can this be the reason? It seems not to me.

Which version of Windows are you running?

Try this experiment. In Visual Studio, right click on the project and select Properties. Select Linker > Manifest File and change Generate Manifest to No. Also in the Linker properties, change General > Suppress Startup Banner to No. Then do a Rebuild of your solution and see if the problem persists. If it does, please attach the buildog.htm in the Debug or Release folder to a reply (see my signature below for instructions on attaching files).

The problem still hangs on. My Wondows OS information:
XP professional,version 2002,service pack 3.
The build log is attached. Thank you.

Ok, nothing obvious there. Would you please attach a ZIP of this project, including the EXE that was built?

It is attached. Thank you for your help. The program is not written by myself. I am trying to rewrite with F95 which can make the program more OOP like.

Very helpful, thanks.

You have common B07 which contains five arrays that are dimensioned (50000000) and are of type REAL*8 (DOUBLE PRECISION.) Right there you have almost 2GB. There are also other image sections that are large.

What is happening is that the data size of the executable is just too big for 32-bit Windows. You'll have to reduce the constant MDAT to reduce the array size or switch to the Intel 64 architectiure for your system and OS (and compiler.)
