Compiler Does Nothing - Menu Items Unavailable

Post by CodingBlind »

I have written some small Windows 64 programs. They compiled and ran just fine.

Now, when I revisit and attempt to compile / run the sources again, nothing happens. This isn't happening with all my programs. Saving the code with different names makes no difference.

I've checked the sources with another editor and there is nothing to suggest a problem at bottom of the files.

Where do I go and what must I do to fix this issue?

Any help gratefully accepted!

You must add exceptions to the virus scanner.
- Purebasic folder
- Project folder

It is best to install Purebasic in folder C:\WinAPP\Purebasic-v612.
Compiler option to create the executable in the source order.

mk-soft,

Many thanks for your reply. I have already tried disabling my virus program, reloading PureBasic and the source; result was the same.

I shall create the exceptions and reinstall PureBasic, as you have recommended.

Please excuse my slackness, in not having reported the solution to this problem; it was too embarrassing. I had somehow removed the file extension from the SaveAs dialog and didn't realise it; a rudimentary error, that should only be made by novice computer users, not by one who aspires to be a programmer. LOL
