APPLIES TO

This article was previously published under Q126302

SYMPTOMS

When you click Options on the Project menu, the Encrypted check box is selected even though it was never selected.

CAUSE

You have included in your project, as an excluded object, an application (.app file) that was built with encryption.

RESOLUTION

There are two ways to work around this problem:
  • If you want to include a reference to another application in your project, and that project was built with encryption, rebuild the referenced project without encryption.
  • Remove the referenced application from your project. Then, on the Project menu, click Options, and make sure that you clear the Encryption check box.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

  1. Create two projects named ProjectA and ProjectB.
  2. Build ProjectB with encryption turned on.
  3. In ProjectA, click Add, and add a reference to the ProjectB application file.
  4. The resultant A.APP file is built with encryption turned on. To check this, on the Project menu, click Options; the Encryption check box is selected.
