PrimalScript 2009 Packager not launching exe's

Post by obiwein »

Is there a way to FTP the file to you or some method of transfer other than email? Our mail system will not allow the sending of exe files, exe files contained in zip files, or exe files renamed as another file type.

Please advise. Thanks.

ok, I got your file, which runs fine here but produces no output, which is a bit peculiar.
I noticed that you have a manifest added, which some XP systems don't like for command line files. I have packaged a powershell "get-date" script here and attached it here. See if that runs on your machine.

It does indeed launch and seems to run although it closes almost immediately.

Just tried the same package that was sent to you via email and it does not work on another workstation here.

Well, it is a command line package, so you are supposed to run it from a command prompt.

Does that workstation have powershell installed?
Can you define "not work"?

Yes, PowerShell is installed on that other machine as well.

Not Work...
Returns this error:
"This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem."

Install dependency walker on yor machine:
http://dependencywalker.com/

and check what dlls you don't have. That error indicates a side-by-side issue, most like related to missing runtimes, outdated comctl32 versions, can be anything.
