I recently had to install ifeffit software package on our network computer. The first time I ran Artemis I was asked to update which I did. However, Artemis did not start after that. The error message that I got is shown in the attached figures artemis-error1a and 1b. Please note that only Artemis doesn't work, all the other softwares (Athena, Hephaestus, TKAtoms etc.) work fine.
I tried running the .bat file from the Ifeffit folder but that didn't work either. I also tried to run the artemis.exe file and received the error shown in figure "artemis-error2".
Later I unisntalled and re-installed Ifeffit and chose not to do the updates and Artemis is now running fine.
I was wondering if anyone has any idea why this is so or if there is a way around installing the updates and still being able to use Artemis???
Two of the screenshots you sent have to do with a known problem in the latest version of Artemis for windows. I fixed it last week and there should be an updater package released this week. The screenshot that complains about not finding the elam.db file suggests one of two problems. Possibility #1 is that the various .bat files did not get built correctly. Possibility #2 is that you tried to run the .exe file rather than .bat file. The codes require that certain environment variables are set correctly in order to run. We decided that we did not want to write to the registry, so we use the .bat files to set the environment correctly before firing up the executables. Consequently, if you try to run the .exe files directly, it is guaranteed to fail. Run the .bat files instead.
