for the record I downloaded makeobj from freestuff and it ran on my machine under win xp 32 bit.

I recompiled the exe file using C++ 2008 (rebuild) and got no errors. I tried the exe file and it started no problems.  Sent it to Cage and same error as the original program. 

(the project files are in the zip)

I may be able to do a trace and see what files are being used but that may take me a few days.

I wonder if it is a simple missing c++ library issue or something in the 64/32 bit selection process.
