Error running MCX Demo

[Thad]

I installed Demo at work today and everytime I launch it, I get the following errors. Running WinXP Pro. All went well on a WinXP Home and Win2000 install. I tried the "Repair" option, but still get the same.

 

Does anyone have any ideas before I try a new install?

 

 

Sorry for the pic, but I couldn't copy the text.

Thad,

 

Remove (or at least rename) the CHOOKS sub-folder beneath C:Mcamx-demo. C-Hooks don't run in DEMO anyway, and it looks like we simply left a few out of that sub-folder which the Chooks .FT file (function table) is looking for.

Thanks for the reply, Pete. I moved the folder to another location and now I get the following errors.

 

Any reason why this only happens on one computer?

This is interesting. Now the computer that I have Demo installed on makes my levels manager in V9 have the new "candy stripe" look, just like MCX.

I noticed the "candy stripe" look to in V9, Sorta freaked me out at first, I was trying to figure out what I had changed.

John,

 

It must have something to do with MCX. On another computer, I have V9 Demo and MCX Demo installed on it. The V9 Demo has the candy stripe look also. It didn't before I installed MCX Demo.

That's seems strange since they are both in seperate folders. I'm not complaing about it just confused. (Doesn't take much sometimes)

Thad,

 

Mastercam uses some shared OCX files meaning V9 and X use these same files. One of these file sis used for the level manager and when you install X it will load these new shared OCX file causing V9 to use these as well, hence the V9 level manager looking different.

 

As far as the demo problem you are having, what did you recieve from your reseller to install??? Did you receive a CD or some other method??? Just curious so we can try and duplicate your problem here. If you received a file via e-mail or some other mehtod, maybe you could e-mail to [email protected] so we can see what you got.

Jim,

 

Thanks for the reply. The overwritten OCX files (whatever *they* are ) seems to the be the answer. It's not a big deal, it just seemed odd.

 

We received a CD to install from. As I stated before, only one computer has a problem with it. The rest function fine. Another thing that I noticed is that if I change anything in the config file, after making the changes (graphics background color for example), I say yes to changing the config file and then get an error "Warning - error opening mcamx.config". The background will change colors, but if I close and reopen MCX, it's back to the default background color. I may have to reinstall it.

 

This seems to be a computer problem, not a software problem. Otherwise it would act up on all computers.

Hi Thad --

 

I think I have the solution to the errors you are receiving. Put the CHooks folder back and install .NET v1.1. That should correct all your errors.

 

Thank You,

TJ,

 

Thanks! Worked perfectly.
