But, sometime ... this very usefull to stop the developments in order to "reinforce the fundamentals" !
Maybe is this time coming now ?????

I will do that before the v2, but after the 1.6 (shooting area enhancement and intervalometer features).

This is probably a bug in "zipextimporter" used by Frederic for the Windows Installer.

I changed something in the build process: no more Library.zip file; all libs are in the .exe. The software should load faster, but as there is 3 executables, this takes more space...

Could you give it a try to see if it now works on Windows Vista 64 and Windows ME (and still works on XP)?

I just changed the package version: 1.3.6.-2

I'll test with Windows ME late this evening.

And I'll check it still works with Windows XP and 2000.

I played with 1.3.6 today on my 770.  The only consistent crash came when I selected "file" from the menu. (I am not using a file for settings yet, and I assume this is the issue.) Papywizard closes completely in this case.

I and others had this problem with some earlier releases but I don't have it with 1.3.6-1.

Frederic, I thought this problem had been fixed?

Hi Frederic,

With Vista 32, I get always the same error :

I don't understand ... the program seems still using "zipextimporter" ?????

Bluetooth is not supported under any version of Windows. You will get this error if you attempt to search for Bluetooth devices - it just isn't going to work on the Windows platform.

You have to use a serial connection to the Merlin/Orion head - either a cable, or a pair of Bluetooth-RS232 devices acting as a serial 'wireless cable'.

Yes I know !

But the question is not there !

Could you please try this new Windows version:

http://www.gbiloba.org/download/tmp/Pap … .3.6-3.zip

This is not an installer; I tried something else. Just unzip the archive anywhere, and run the exe inside. I didn't include the gtk-runtime, but if you have installed a previous Papywizard version, you already have it.

Let me know how it works (including bluetooth connection).

On Vista64 I immediately get an error
The procedure entry point libiconv_set_relocation_prefix could not be located in the dynamic link library iconv.dll

But it might be because I have never succesfuly installed the windows version...

1.3.6-2 on Windows ME.

Fails to run.

Screen shot of error message.

Here's the log:

1.3.6-3 on Windows XP SP3.

Bluetooth Choose doesn't work as reported previously.

Also shooting position graphic is not displayed in either mosiac or preset modes.

Could you all sumurize the different behaviours with the different Windows/Papywizard versions you tried?

Something like:

Windows   Papywizard  Startup           Bluetooth connection
-------------------------------------------------------------
XP        1.3.6-1     fail (traceback)  fail (traceback/error)
Vista 64  1.3.6-2     ok                fail (traceback/error)
...

For the bluetooth connection, please tell if you have a bluetooth adapter or not installed on your PC.

Thanks!

I think that Windows Me (mobile) doesn't support GTK ....

My PC running Vista 32 has a build in BT ! But by trying to configure BT connection, I get the following errors:

2008-11-26 10:57:11,171::MainThread::INFO::Scanning available bluetooth devices...
2008-11-26 10:57:11,171::Dummy-6::EXCEPTION::refreshBluetoothList()

2008-11-26 10:57:11,265::MainThread::ERROR::Can't scan bluetooth

But as I said earlier, I have the impression that the program continue to try the usage of "zipextimporter"

The same PC who is Ubuntu/Vista 32 "dual boot, and running Ubuntu is working perfectly with Papywizard.
Configuration and connection BT : perfect !
Papywizard run 100 % OK
