Demo version won't compile?

[pbster]

Resource error, even when attempting to compile any of the sample files included.

I've removed, redownloaded, re-installed (even into a different directory) - and it still does nothing but quit with a 'resource error'. Perhaps I'm doing it wrong?

Doing the simple first 'this will compile' from this page http://www.xs4all.nl/~bluez/datatalk/pure1.htm

It still faults to resource error. What am I missing?

win 2000 pro, 512mb ram.

Code: Select all

OpenConsole() 
PrintN("hello world") 
Repeat 
  Delay(1) 
Until Inkey() <> ""

This also results in resource error.

That's no good. I wouldn't know why the demo isn't compiling, you may have to wait for the Pb development team to answer you.

Can you compile from the command line? Save the above in the "compilers" directory (inside the directory where purebasic is installed), then open cmd.exe, go to the same compilers directory, and type "purebasic yourfile.pb" (without the quotes).

; IDE Options = PureBasic 4.30 (Windows - x86)
; CursorPosition = 5
; Folding = -
; EnableXP

Removed IDE options lines... attempted command line compilation, same result as above.

Only thing I could think of is maybe the problem is related to MSVCRT.dll
I don't think it ships with 2000. Should be in system32

[Trond]

Can you post the ouput of echo %path%? And also make sure everything in the purebasic directory isn't write-protected.

[pbster]

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files\PureBasic1\Compilers>echo %path%
C:\WINNT\system32;C:\WINNT;C:\WINNT\System32\Wbem;I:\ZMYSQL\bin;C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\

hmmm.

[pbster]

nothing is write protected.
and msvcrt.dll is in place under system32... as well as msvcrtXX.dll

[idle]

sorry don't know what it could be.

[Trond]

If you run polink.exe, does it say anything?

[Kaeru Gaman]

which demo did you download?
perhaps you chose the wrong one....?

Did you have the demo version and then install the registered version?

You may have to uninstall both and then reinstall 4.3

ALSO this is a copy of my compilers directory. Are all your files sizes the same?
