Getting "IDE module error" when running qb64.exe from the command prompt.

[net2011]

Hi,

After getting the IDE error, immediately open the file '\internal\temp\ideerror.txt' and tell me what it contains.

Thanks.

PS. Is this problem specific to V0.953?

I opened the file specified above and it said
53
31776

I actually had this same problem with V0.951.

have you tried a full re-installation? I've had some cases where a program failed because some files had been skipped in an upgrade when newer versions of those files were needed. (primarily caused by skipping some upgrades)

Please respond to my reply net2011.

My response is above Galleon. By the way, the data statement works just fine with this new version.

I'm thinking he didn't see the reply. By the way, you can respond to multiple people in the same post, it's just that quoting isn't quite as convenient.

Anyway, based on your report, it seems that the error is in the idezgetroot$ function:

    SHELL _HIDE "cd >.\internal\temp\root.txt"
    OPEN ".\internal\temp\root.txt" FOR INPUT AS #150

Where the OPEN statement is supposedly on line 31776 (actually line 31830), and generates a "File not found" error. Therefore, the SHELL statement is probably failing to create the file. So, I'd guess it's related to the bug in this thread:

Well, I extracted the files to C:\Users\Documents\qb64_patch, then I copied libqbx.o to
C:\qb64\internal\c making sure to choose the option to overwrite the file, then I copied qb64.exe to C:\qb64 making sure to overwrite the file and still the same error.

Sorry I kind of abandoned this discussion but I will be spending more time on it from now on; on the weekends. Yup, still getting "IDE module error" when opening qb64 as adminstrator from the command prompt directory of C:\qb64v0954. I also tried it from C:\qb64v0954\qb64 in windows explorer as administrator. I have been using Notepad++ to write qb64 programs; kind of a pain in the but having to turn my caps lock on and off and use the shift button for single lowercase letters. I hope you eventually get rid of "IDE module error" for good but still a fun experience though. Please help.
