I'll add that something seems kind of broken on your computer: PATH: t Shared\Windows Live;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files\Intel\WiFi\bin\;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Intel\WirelessCommon\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Live\Shared;C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Roxio Shared\DLLShared\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Roxio Shared\OEM\DLLShared\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Roxio Shared\OEM\DLLShared\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Roxio Shared\OEM\12.0\DLLShared\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Roxio\OEM\AudioCore\;C:\strawberry\c\bin\gnuplot\bin;C:\Python27;C:\Python27\DLLs;C:\Python27\Scripts;C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\vtk;C:\Python27\gnuplot\binary;C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\osgeo;C:\Program Files (x86)\pythonxy\SciTE-3.3.2-3;C:\Program Files (x86)\pythonxy\console;C:\Program Files (x86)\pythonxy\swig;C:\Program Files (x86)\pythonxy\gettext\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\Skype\Phone\;C:\MinGW32-xy\bin Broken thing #1: The first item in the path is "t Shared\Windows Live" which is not a valid path. Broken thing #2: Demeter's installer puts three things in your path, all of which start with "C:\strawberry". None of them are in your path variable. I don't know how you got to this place and I don't know the best way to fix it, but it is certainly a situation that Demeter is not prepared for. Unless you explicitly fix something like how Matt suggested, there is a 0% chance that anything else you try will get Demeter working on your computer. I'd also like to point out that Demeter works just fine on Windows 7. I test every installer on Windows 7 machines. The problem here is that Demeter won't starting on *your* computer.

Hi William,
As with the recent message about Demeter on Mac-with-Parallels, I suspect this is an issue with how the PATH is set. It looks to me like you don't have all the path locations set correctly, though it also appears that it is finding the DLL, just not recognizing it as a Win32 DLL That probably means some other DLL is interfering, but I'm not certain of that.
I would suggest setting path explicitly to
C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\strawberry\perl\bin;C:\strawberry\perl\site\bin;C:\strawberry\c\bin;C:\strawberry\c\bin\gnuplot\bin;
You could even try putting this at the top of dathena.bat (and dartemis.bat, etc):
set Path=C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem set Path=%PATH%;C:\strawberry\perl\bin;C:\strawberry\perl\site\bin;C:\strawberry\c\bin;C:\strawberry\c\bin\gnuplot\bin;
Hope that helps -- and please let us know!
