Liveware Publishing Support Forum

Ok, I give up. What^s the magic password or trick to get win2k to work under the VO IDE?____I am trying to install on my Toshiba laptop running win2k sp2 all the latest patches in place from MS and VO 2.5b3. I installed an HP5 driver for win2k and made that default, but I don^t actually have a printer connected to LPt1 set as default (I connect to my network to print). I have tried with 9.0 and update patch as well. I have deleted the pdf maker file alluded to elsewhere in this forum. ____Still, when I go to run the report, nothing happens. No errors, no bells or whistles, nothing but a couple HD blinks, and I can continue on. I can run the same reports in designer without problem.____BTW, identical code on my w98 machine runs fine...____I am installing as adminstrator and running under the same login. I have installed and de-installed several times now and all with the same results. I am convinced it^s got to be something simple on my end or more people would be barking here.____any and all comments would be helpful...____thanks____Steve

Does the runtime executable work outside of your application?____Kathleen__R&R Support

kathleen,____Yes, it runs from a run, Programs, R&R Samples. ____It also runs from a command prompt.____It will not run for me inside VO or even after I compile and try to run from an exe. It churns for a little bit, and pretends like nothing happened.____This same code works fine on Win98 or 95, unfortunately, we are forcing our 200+ client installations to run on win2k, so I need to resolve this ASAP, or abandon R&R for all future development.____I^m hoping this is a simple issue related to changed features in win2k. Here is the calling line from VO. Would someone be able to tell me if this is correct for 2K, or perhaps some of the skipped parameters need to be addressed??____Thanks____-Steve

sorry...I meant to put the calling line in there...____SELF:cReportFile := gcTempPath + SELF:cReportFile__lSucceed := CreateProcess( NULL_PTR, String2Psz( "rrwrun.exe " + SELF:cReportFile + " 1 /D" + gcMasterPath ), NULL_PTR, NULL_PTR, FALSE, 0, NULL_PTR, NULL_PTR, @startup, @pro_inf )__

Does an RRWRUN.OUT output status file get created?____Kathleen__R&R Support

Kathleen, ____Fagetaboutit!:7____It was a path statement problem. Sheesh. Always the easy stuff that makes things so hard :)____Now hopefully, I can get to work... I am concerned about the posts with Terminal Server. Almost all of our clients are using that technology. Is there a patch for that? I did see that Microsoft has a patch for the HP multifunction printer driver because it pinned the cpu at 100%. Could it be related for those that are reporting the progblem?____Thanks.____-Steve
