BDEBUGGER does not launch

[yakir]

I run BDEBUGGER (or IDE) <batch-file-name> in TCC (both under TCMD and detached) but it does not launch.
No error messages, no nothing.

Tried running in TCMD home directory (NOT in \Program Files\...) - no better.

What should I look for ?

-----------------
C:\AmltDev\DevPlat51-> IDE /?
Start the IDE / batch debugger.

IDE [/C file [...]]
File: The file(s) to edit
/C(reate file)
-------------------


TCC 10.00.61 Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
TCC Build 61 Windows XP Build 2600 Service Pack 3

First, make sure you have IDE.EXE in the TCMD installation directory.

If it's there, try running ".\ide.exe" from that directory to see if it
starts. If it doesn't, try temporarily renaming your TCMD.INI file to see
if that's causing a problem.

I need more feedback on the suggestions -- i.e., is there even an
ide.exe in your installation directory?

yes there is an ide.exe (If i remove or rename it I get Application not found).
When I run .\ide.exe it returns immediately.
When I issue command IDE it thinks a bit (searching path ?) then returns.

Tried in TCC under TCMD, TCC detached, CMD (?), within TCMD home dir, outside TCMD home dir / wit & without path to TCMD home dir ...

The debugger will also load TCMD.INI, and attempt to execute TCSTART at
startup, so check that too.

renamed the TCMD.INI and TCSTART.BTM files - still didn't help

Yakir,

Download a copy of Process Monitor from Microsoft. You can download it from http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx

Run it and set the filter to IDE.EXE and then attempt to run your IDE application. You should be able to capture the output and email that to Rex or if you have some technical savvy, you can probably figure out what's going wrong yourself.

Done.
i.e. sent a copy to Rex.
Too much weird stuff for me to figure out what is going on.
