Hi all
Has anyone tried to run the last release of Pd (Pd-0.43.1test5) on Windowx XP?
I fail to even start it. Double-clicking either pd.exe or pd.com does just nothing. When calling pd.com from the cmd shell, I get this output:
C:\pds\pd-043.1test5\bin>pd.com spawnl: Invalid argument C:\pds\pd-043.1test5\bin\wish85.exe: couldn't load TCL
Is it only me, or is this release really broken on Windows XP?
Roman
I just tried it now and it seems to work fine.

What version of Windows did it fail on?
I switched versions of Tcl/TK for 0.43-1 (someone else on the list suggested this to solve some other problem I think) - which could easily be the source of the trouble. But I need to be able to make it fail so I can fix it :)

It works fine on my Windows XP VM.

Hi Miller
This is on Windows XP Pro / Version 2002 / SP3 32bit in a VirtualBox VM. It really only happens with Pd-0.43.1test5, but not with Pd-0.43.1test4 or any earlier version.
Yet we have two reports where it is working on Windows XP. Could that be related to my version being Pro (I don't know about the specifics of 'Pro') or to the fact that it is in a VM?
I'll try to find another Windows XP installation...

Now I have tried it on another VM-machine with the same OS Version and I can start Pd-0.43.1test5 there. Something is special about the first machine, but I don't have the slightest idea what. It's a plain OS install with all updates applied and then Pd installed.....
Yet we have two reports where it is working on Windows XP. Could that be related to my version being Pro (I don't know about the specifics of 'Pro') or to the fact that it is in a VM?
Apparently, it's neither.
Since yet it is only this (my) box with this problem, I'm sorry for having made so much noise.

Please feel free to make reports like this! They add to my general understanding of what's happening to people even if I can never get to the bottom of something :)
cheers Miller
