Thread: [DCC Error] Option.pas(84): E2010 Incompatible types: 'Char' and 'AnsiChar'

im trying to compile Agent-Hs32-Idir[V-P] Rat Open source (the server i got the client working)
but i run into this error :

[DCC Error] Option.pas(84): E2010 Incompatible types: 'Char' and 'AnsiChar'

and it brings me to this line:

cHandle := FindFirstFileA(PChar(FileName), FindData); Result:= cHandle <> INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE; IF Result THEN begin FindClose(cHandle); end; end;

i did some research and was reading that You must replace all PChar with PAnsIChar. PChar is a PWideChar in
Delphi 2009 cuz 'Char' and 'PChar' are now 'WideChar' and 'PWideChar' in
D2009. You cannot assign an AnsiChar/PAnsiChar to a WideChar/PWideChar,
and vice versa, without extra coding....but ..its alsways somthing simple and i usually make shit complicated....lol can somone help me out or give me some ideas as to why im getting this error?:confused:

MSDN:

Requirements:

Minimum supported client Windows 2000 Professional
Minimum supported server Windows 2000 Server
Header WinBase.h (include Windows.h)
Library Kernel32.lib
DLL Kernel32.dll
Unicode and ANSI names FindNextFileW (Unicode) and FindNextFileA (ANSI)

hm...ok that gives me an idea....

oh man....im in over my head here LOL!!! i ben at this for hours reading and reading....lol...gotta admit its kinda fun tho..i didnt realize i could be so dedicated lol.....

Maybe the way your trying to solve this is wrong. When I get stuck, I usually search the MSDN (surely there must be an online SDK for delphi too) to see if I've missed something or turn back to the books catching up with stuff I've forgotten. (e-books)

oook now im stuck on differant part.....heres a pic of my screen ... the error is


[DCC Error] HsIdirServer.dpr(21: E2010 Incompatible types: 'Array' and 'PAnsiChar'

ohh wait..i see he didnt finish the code further up i think....hmm...
