To Pd dev -
Several of my students have windows 7, on which the TCL line "package require registry" seems to fail (not able to find or load the file tclreg12.dll). I put a report on Sourceforge:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3484492&group_id=557...
Woed any of you have ready access to a windows 7 mchine to see if you can replicate this? I don't have one and it might be a while before I can get hold of one.
I can confirm this problem. Here is what I get in the Pd-window:
[snip]---
This on Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 with Pd-0.43.1.
I didn't have time to 'play' with the problem. If there is anything specific I can test, please let me know.
Can you tell me if Pd-extended 0.43 is also affected?
.hc
I don't know - I'll e-mail one of the reporting students and see if I can find out.
I tested with Pd-0.43.1-extended-20120201 on the same machine and it does _not_ expose that behaviour. I can create new patches, save and close them and re-open them without any errors.
It seems the file that it complains about (tclreg12.dll) seems simply missing in the archive. Copying the file from the Pd-extended installation to <pd-install>/lib/tcl8.5/reg fixes the problem.
Also it seems, that this file has been missing since the switch from Tcl/Tk 8.4 to 8.5 for the Windows release. pd-0.43-1test4.msw.zip doesn't suffer from that problem, because it is still using 8.4. pd-0.43-1test5.msw.zip seems to be the first Version with 8.5 and this version is already missing the dll file. It seems that noone really tested those releases on Windows 7 :-(
Now, that I think more about it: If the file is _really_ missing in the archive, how comes that it works on Windows XP? I can't test right now, but could it be that this file is somehow hidden only on Win7, but not on WinXP? Strange.. Unfortunately, I know too little about Windows ... :-/
