Hi Everyone, Yep, I see the same failure of 1.2.5 on a WinXP machine, though it works on my main desktop. A clean install of 1.2.4, plus installing updater 1.1, and taking all the updates works for me (there is not yet an update that goes from 1.2.4+updates to 1.2.5). I believe the problem is that the grwnd.exe file got accidently changed in the release of Ifeffit 1.2.5. What I don't understand is why it worked for me (unless the older grwnd.exe was found somewhere earlier in the path???). I'll post a fix as soon as possible: both as ifeffit-1.2.5a.exe and as an update which should upgrade ifeffit-1.2.4 and the broken ifeffit-1.2.5. Hopefully, this will be available later this morning. I suspect that something else must be going on for Michel. I've seen Ifeffit 1.2.4 plus Updater 1.1 work well on many Windows machines. I haven't heard otherwise until this report. Bruce said:
I will state (again) that a small number of dedicated pre-testing volunteers could go a long way towards rooting out these problems *before* they get widely released. Of course, I have asked for volunteers of this sort in the past and have received, at best, unfulfilled promises. But I am willing once again to do my best Don Quixote impression....
There is no special category of beta-testers because no one has offered to do this. Having beta-testers would be OK with me. Having someone else take over build and support Windows releases would be even better, but I'm not optimistic about this. What is more likely is that Windows releases will fall very far behind source releases. The desire to release 1.2.5 for all platforms _definitely_ delayed the release of the source code, which won't happen again. Since there are no special beta-testers, everyone ends up being a beta-tester. So thanks to Doug and Scott and Michel for the reports, and sorry for the trouble! --Matt
