It looks like there is a problem with the single-user installer file. My previous install attemps had been using the single-user installer, launched from my vista user account. When I ran the all-user installer from my user account (in both cases I of course had to enter the adminstrator password to continue installation), after the mandatory reboot CCP4 so far looks okay. I do not know yet if everything is working, but at least now CCP4i launches. There is still no entry in the start menu, so that still needs to be fixed. Hardly a major issue, but it might have a similar cause to why the single-user installer does not seem to work.
Thanks to Dima Klenchin for suggestions and analysis of the error messages I got from the single-user install, Stuart Endo-Streeter On Monday 27 July 2009 20:00, you wrote: > >I get the following error when trying to run ccp4i.tcl with bltwish.exe: > > > >Can't read "env(CCP4I_TOP)": no such variable while executing > >"file join $env(CCP4I_TOP) bin $system(OPSYS) startup.tcl" invoked from > >within > >"source [file join $env(CCP4I_TOP) bin $system(OPSYS) startup.tcl]" > > (file "C:\CCP4-Packages\ccp4-6.1.1\ccp4i\bin\ccp4i.tcl" line 20) > > OK, seems to me that your installation is totally hosed.
