Take Command v11 Public Beta Build 22 Uploaded

[rconn]

I've uploaded build 22 to the ftp beta area. The updater is now available as well, so if you have build 21 you can check for updates and let the updater do all the work.

This build should resolve all of the reported & reproducible bugs as of a couple of days ago (as well as a few that I found & fixed). If you're still having problems with a previously reported bug, please let me know.

I will be uploading the public betas for TCC/LE 11.0 (no new features, just some compatibility fixes & performance tweaks) and TCMD/LE 11.0 later today.

I tried quite a bit with build 22 and could not cause WHICH /A to behave badly.

Downloaded & updated to rel 22 (both via update and separate download)

When I try to run - nothing happens - hour glass for 2 secs. then nothing.
No TCMD processes.

I received the message quoted below via email. It arrived with hundreds of
embedded HTML tags, but without indication that it is HTML, hence most of it
is unreadable in Outlook Express.

I received the message quoted below via email. It arrived with hundreds of embedded HTML tags, but without indication that it is HTML, hence most of it is unreadable in Outlook Express.

I posted it in the Support Forum, where everything is perforce HTML.

I'm sorry if I made you email client gag, Steve. (But then, Outlook Express has made me gag more than once in the past....)

 

[yakir]

Still more info:

Fully removed Ver 11. vis Installer
Re-installed clean (did not copy ini or hist files) to default dir.

Same result !

If I run TCC (4NT) I see the console Window for a second then it disappears.

TCMD Ver 10 is working fine (except for my existing "unable to run bdebugger" problem)

Downloaded and installed build 22 without problems on my regular workstation, both the x86 and x64 versions. Checking for updates in the x86 works, but the x64 version complains "Unable to find resource on server. Please check if the URL is correct." Indeed, http://jpsoft.com/downloads/v11_x64/tcmdupdate.aiu gives a 404 error.

Some minor installer notes:
- On the "Configure Shortcuts" screen, if you uncheck all options, it still creates an icon at the 'top' start menu. In the case of the x64 installer, it even creates an empty "TCMD11x64" folder in the Programs menu.
- The x86 shortcuts are named "Take Command 11.0" while the x64 shortcuts are called "Take Command x64 v11". Using either "v11.00" or "v11" everywhere would be more consistent.

Also, during my test installation in VMware, the x86 version of TCmd.exe crashed immediately at startup. The TCmd.gpf file doesn't contain much useful info:

TCMD 11.00.22

TCC.exe also crashed, with approximately the same info:

TCC 11.00.22
Address=80000002
Exception=C0000005
EAX=0000001E EBX=00000001 ECX=01708D5C EDX=05833D92

Flags=00010206

Stack:

The x64 versions of TCmd.exe and TCC.exe start fine, and show the registration dialog.

Well, this time I can say it's not OE's fault. I too received the message
(and many others from Charles) with HTML tags in the message. I don't
know why I only seem to get these messages from Charles though.

My email client is Lotus Notes.

What I see (in Outlook 2003) is the message followed by the HTML, and by checking on the web forum I see that the HTML is the (simulated?) screen capture

Probably because I'm the only one doing HTML screen dumps....

I'd try it as an attachment, but the forum doesn't seem to permit HTML attachments.

In Outlook do you see the HTML tags, or is the screen capture itself
properly rendered? Reading between the lines I think the former, and you
needed to use your browser, instead of your mail client, to actually
discover what was posted.

Maybe you should switch to a screen dump program which is more compatible
with email.

Instead of attachments, Rex could provide a section on the JPsoft website,
where we can upload anything, "download at your own risk". That would allow
you to upload the screen shot, and just use its URL in you email. OOPS! Are
URLs allowed inposts?

[Mr. Jiggs]

Correct. I saw the HTML code in Outlook.
I saw the 'screen capture' when I went to the website forum posting...

Same problem on a totally different PC, running Win7

How do you do an HTML screen dump?

It's a custom plugin.

It seems it needs more customization when it is included in plain-text
mail.Here switching to display the whole message as HTML did not help - the
complete post probably did not start with HTML tag,

WAD - directory colorization has never supported wrapped lines.

That's a long-time Windows Installer problem; nothing I can do about it.

I've uploaded build 22 to the ftp beta area. The updater is now available as well, so if you have build 21 you can check for updates and let the updater do all the work.

This build should resolve all of the reported & reproducible bugs as of a couple of days ago (as well as a few that I found & fixed). If you're still having problems with a previously reported bug, please let me know.

Has the Tcl/Tk support been updated? The Tk scripts still don't seem to work.

No -- there's a bug in the embedded Tcl code that I haven't found a
workaround for yet.
