TCompile fails on command line Win7/64 bit

[dhdswew]

Hi!

I have just migrated from WinXP32 to Win7/64 bit. Everything works fine - except twinecompile on on command line!
Twinecompile works great within the IDE, everything compiles very fast. But when trying to do the same on command line, an error occurs as shown by the log snippet below.

My System:
System: Intel i5-2400, 8GB RAM and a lot of space...
Windows 7 64 bit, German
Codegear RAD Studio 2009 Professional

The Log shows that no compiler executable is called. Look for the "-ide2009" option, there should be an executable in front of... When compiling inside the IDE there will be called the mtbcc32.exe correctly, but not at the command line. I was not able to figure out in which way the command line for the target is created or called.
I think there is an environment variable not correctly set. I also installed twinecompile to "C:\TwineCompile" to make shure that the spaces in "C:\programm files (x86)" are not causing the problem.

Thanks for your help

Greetings from germany,

Does the user have access to the following registry key?

Code: Select all

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\JomiTech\TwineCompile\InstallPath

Hello Jomitech!

First: thanks for your answer. To your question:

I think so. I am a member of group "administrators". I was also running the console window explicitly as administrator which should give us access to the key, right?

[jomitech]

Use regedit to see if Administrator has the necessary permissions to read that key.

[dhdswew]

I tried that already, i was able to change that key.

[jomitech]

What version of TwineCompile are you using?

[dhdswew]

i am using the latest version, V3.2.1.

Today we mentioned that on an other machine where CbuilderXE is installed that twinecompile is working as expected. On that machine (same OS and same hardware as my computer) the CBuilder was installed to a path which contains no "(x86)". Is it possible that the twinecompile-dll for Cbuilder2009 has problems with pathes containing such brackets?

regards

[jomitech]

No, the TwineCompile MSBuild assembly has no issues with brackets in the path.

Try this:

1. Create a registry key called:

Code: Select all

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JomiTech\TwineCompile

Note that I've left out the Wow6432Node.

2. Create a string value called InstallPath in there, set to the TwineCompile path (C:\TwineCompile)

I'm figuring that the command-line build is running in 64-bit mode, so it won't be reading the Wow6432Node keys in the registry.

Thats it!

Thanks for your help!
