[DUG] Console app problem on Windows SBS 2003

Guys,

I have a little Delphi console application that works fine on virtually all 
Windows versions except for Windows Small Business Server 2003 (Windows 
Server 2003 is fine). I imagine that the problem lies somewhere within an 
initialization procedure (probably in 3rd party code) since the application 
immediately quits after startup. Being a console application it has the 
standard feature of displaying/listing available commands if  you type 
"app.exe /help" and even this is not working. It is an email related 
application, but it fails even before it calls any of the email related 
methods.

Has anyone else experienced this kind of problem with a console application 
on Windows SBS 2003, and if not, any idea how I might be able to track down 
the problem since I do not have access to install Delphi or do debugging (or 
remote debugging) on such a machine.  Can I possibly create a global 
exception handler to try and log a trace of exactly what goes wrong? I 
ported the app from D5 to D7 but that didn't help either.

TIA
Xander
