Title: Windows Vista (and probably Windows 7) support. Post by: Korrode on 2010-01-22 14:22 (Fri) The 'Easy Windows Installer' should now support Vista fine (and prolly Windows 7).
If people running either Windows Vista or Windows 7 can try it and just confirm it does work and post here, would be great. http://qelserv.quadronyx.org/forums/index.php?topic=14.0 Title: Re: Windows Vista (and probably Windows 7) support. Post by: Koss on 2010-01-22 15:18 (Fri) Running Windows 7 (64 bit).
Downloaded new package and ran it. Selected option 2. The command prompt came up and ran through it's thing. Pressed a key to close the window. Icons appeared on the desktop. Double clicked on QELServ Test Server. Said it could not find the file "C:\Program Files\Eternal Lands\el.exe" qelserv-test Right clicked and went to properties. Replaced target with "C:\Program Files (x86)\Eternal Lands\el.exe" qelserv-test Clicked apply. Double clicked on icon again, screen came up like this ... http://i47.tinypic.com/x59mip.jpg After pressing a key, it's a blank white screen. Suggestions? Title: Re: Windows Vista (and probably Windows 7) support. Post by: Korrode on 2010-01-22 15:24 (Fri) also replace the "start in" (iirc that's what it's called) directory... (just below the "Target" field), with:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Eternal Lands" At the moment, no much i can do for 64bit ppl, but when QELClient comes, support should be better. edit: actually, rly all i should need to do is look up the environment variables used in 64bit Windows and make an option for 64bit... will work on it :) Title: Re: Windows Vista (and probably Windows 7) support. Post by: Koss on 2010-01-22 15:28 (Fri) That did it. :) With a little tinkering, it's working with Windows 7 - 64bit!
Nothing a short 5 step guide couldn't fix on the download post. :) Title: Re: Windows Vista (and probably Windows 7) support. Post by: Korrode on 2010-01-22 15:54 (Fri) kk great Koss, but could you try deleting the 3 QELServ icons on your desktop, and try this version of the installer:
www.paradoxcomputers.com.au/stuff/qelserv-installer_0.4-3.exe first it asks about 2000/xp or vista/7 as before, and then after that it asks about 32bit or 64bit.
