Dear Bruce, I have a problem with running Demeter on non-unicode Win7/64 bit computer. The log file is attached. I am using the latest update and it is better than previous versions since at least something is happening, when I've tried previous Demeter versions, they just crashed immediately. I am not an expert in programming, but I suspect that similar problem existed in one of the old version of IFEFFIT as was discussed with you in July 2008 in the mail list: =============== A followup to the unicode issue: I use a tool called PerlApp to build stand-alone windows executables of my codes. While researching how it handles temporary directory creation, I came across the following: http://bugs.activestate.com/show_bug.cgi?id=43697 It would seem that the issue Kleper and Shiryaev are seeing is the result of that bug, which has been resolved in recent versions of PerlApp. I was certainly using a version of PerlApp that showed this problem when the previous installer was made. I am now using version 7.2, so things should work fine for non-ascii language speakers. I will communicate with Kleper and Shiryaev off the list to ask them to test the new installer. Regards, B ============== I would appreciate some advice how to handle the problem. Regards, Andrei ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Andrei Shiryaev
