Borland Resource Workshop doesn't work (doesn't start at all) and immediately causes explorer.exe to crash.
If started from command prompt in a console window, cmd.exe will crash.
It can be downloaded here:

  • OS: Windows 11 23H2
    trace.txt cannot be created because of immediate crash (the file is empty).

This is a bug in the windows ntvdm64.dll component. If you run it with otvdm workshop.exe then it works. Also, workshop.exe can patched to fix the problem by removing the translation field from the version resource (which can be done in brw).
