Hello, I am having the same problem that Noah describes: DX opens with the window showing Tutortorial and other buttons, but an attempt to open the Tutorial fails, as does an attempt to open a sample file *.net. The error is DXLStartChild: Could not connect using 'dx' (in my DOS window)
and "Cannot connect to dxec" in a DX error message. Here is my Opendx.bat file, to which I added the line SET DXMACROS after reading the last message from Suhaib in response to Noah. Does any one see the error in that file that makes it impossible to connect to DEXEC?
