Temp.dat is probably a protected system file, with no read-access permitted.
Try FileSize with a file you created yourself, and it should return the same
size on all versions of Windows. I've asked Fred to see if FileSize can get
the size of protected files in future, so we'll see.

Temp.dat was an example. I have this problem with every file which isnt generated or extracted from my application :/

Hmm, I see. Well, FileSize works fine for me with PureBasic v2.95 (registered);
are you also using this version?
