Invalid Character Found In Text - firebird

I have 10 Windows XP Machines that have a Firebird .fdb database installed.
The applications were all working fine until the last few days where one of the .executables have started giving an error 'An Invalid Character Found In Text Content'.
This is only occuring on a Windows XP terminal. After transferring the database/ application on a windows 10 or windows 7 PC, it works fine.
Wondering if someone knows much about this issue and could point me in the right direction to fix it?

Database connection issue in installing Powerbuilder 8 application to Windows 10

I'm trying to get a legacy Powerbuilder 8 application to work in a Windows 10 environment. The application has not been installed from any installation package, I simply open it from a network share containing all the necessary files. It works this way in Windows 7 systems. In Windows 10 the app opens fine, but connecting to database fails with error message:
999: DBMS MSS is not supported in your current installation.
Neither Windows 7 nor Windows 10 workstations have any specific database access drivers installed.
My development environment has Windows 10 and there connection to the database works ok. The database server is installed locally in the dev environment, though.
We had a problem with Powerbuilder 8.4 and 0racle 10 and 11. With Windows 10 patch 1803. When we copied files to local drive it worked. We were getting strange data base error. It had to do with smb version 1. June 30 2018 Windows 10 solved the problems. If your still having problem this may be worth a shot.

This may not be an issue with Windows XP. Check this Github issue and see if you have the same symptoms. Then try switching browsers and see if the problem persists.

Lightswitch Desktop Application Wont Install in XP SP3

I have a desktop application developed with Lightswitch using Visual Studio 2012.
The app installs perfectly on a Windows 7 machine but when I try to install it on an XP SP3 machine I get:
setup.exe is not a valid Win32-Application
I've tried using:
editbin setup.exe /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS,5.01 /OSVERSION:5.1
but then I get the following error:
the procedure entry point InitializeCriticalSectionEX could not be
located in the dynamic link library Kernal32.dll
I've spent ages getting this rapid development application to do exactly what I want it to do and to be scuppered at the last hurdle really bites. So if anyone can help me to get this thing to work on an XP machine I'd be really, really grateful.
Looks like I was caught out with the 'can't compile an application in VS2012 for XP' issue. So I'm gonna redevelop the app in VS2010. Nice one Microsoft...
Setup.exe is not a valid Win32 application

My app created on XP does not run on Windows 7

I am trying to run an app I created at work (I sent myself the .exe file) so that I could see how it looks on Windows 7.
My laptop (running 64-bit Windows 7) won't even open it, though. It opens some compatibility wizard to try to rectify whatever the problem is, but that doesn't work either.
Is there anything I need besides the .exe itself, that I should have copied over?
A team member using Windows 7 can run it (by checking it out of Subversion and running it in the VS IDE, anyway), but the display if "off" (The FlowLayoutPanel's controls are experiencing a kind of "wardrobe malfunction"). But I, as mentioned, can't even run it.
What might be the problem/solution?
If you are running the Professional edition of Windows 7 or higher then it will include the option to install the "Windows XP Virtual Machine". You can then run your app as normal under the virtual machine, quckest and easiest way to resolve these sort of issues in Windows 7.
