All After getting AGVCR to work with help from Derek, thanks, my vic and rat also wouldn't start. I applied the fix from bugzilla and all is fine again.
thank you all for your help Paul On Sep 7, 2006, at 5:33 AM, Cindy Sievers wrote: My apologies, Derek is right, please don't blame the AGVCR installer, it works great! And furthermore, both Derek and AGVCR are awesome! The problem I had, as Tom pointed out, was related to this bug (and not to the GTK as I had thought): http://bugzilla.mcs.anl.gov/accessgrid/show_bug.cgi?id=1571 Tom wrote, "The problem is, I believe, the existence of some file or directory that begins with "Program" in the C:\ directory,so you could alternatively just remove that file/dir." I had specified a directory in the C:\ directory for AGVCR to write the recorded files to, this in turn, triggered the above mentioned AGtk bug.....once I removed this directory, everything worked fine. whew.... Many thanks to Tom and Derek! Cindy At 06:53 AM 9/7/2006, Derek Piper wrote: Any old GTK runtime would be listed in the 'Add/Remove Programs' dialog of Windows. I really don't think that any of it is related to VIC and RAT not working since they don't even use GTK. To clear some things up about the installer. It's not doing anything 'weird' behind the scenes, it's just copying the program files, the standalone runtime (the same as the contents of the .zip file that people have been using for ages, e.g. GTK and VIC and RAT). It does NOT alter the PATH of the system, but instead makes an AGVCR_PATH environment variable that the batch file to run AGVCR looks at to see if the DLLs are there. IF the GTK DLLs are installed on the system 'globally', then the bundled runtime is not used. If it sounds defensive, I guess I'm just concerned that people are going to blame the AGVCR installer for messing up their machine when it didn't. Now, as to your problem, I can only assume that Windows is just being difficult. :/ Derek Cindy Sievers wrote: Hi Paul Seems like I have the same error, only it hosed my vic and rat.....do you know how to get rid of the old DLLs? Upgrading to the newest GTK created a problem on my machine!!! And I have a big seminar tomorrow morning at 9:00.....oh woe is me.... Cindy At 02:19 PM 9/6/2006, Derek Piper wrote: Paul, Do you have an old GTK runtime installation on the machine you're testing on? References to that message indicate it was a known bug in GTK around March time. The runtime included with AGVCR has the most recent Windows build of GTK. So, I'm guessing some old DLLs are being found on the system and causing things to break.
