Re: [ccp4bb] install issue on win vista - where is the ccp4i executable? RESOLVED
It looks like there is a problem with the single-user installer file. My previous install attemps had been using the single-user installer, launched from my vista user account. When I ran the all-user installer from my user account (in both cases I of course had to enter the adminstrator password to continue installation), after the mandatory reboot CCP4 so far looks okay. I do not know yet if everything is working, but at least now CCP4i launches. There is still no entry in the start menu, so that still needs to be fixed. Hardly a major issue, but it might have a similar cause to why the single-user installer does not seem to work.

Re: [ccp4bb] install issue on win vista - where is the ccp4i executable?
I get the following error when trying to run ccp4i.tcl with bltwish.exe: Can't read "env(CCP4I_TOP)": no such variable while executing "file join $env(CCP4I_TOP) bin $system(OPSYS) startup.tcl" invoked from within "source [file join $env(CCP4I_TOP) bin $system(OPSYS) startup.tcl]" (file "C:\CCP4-Packages\ccp4-6.1.1\ccp4i\bin\ccp4i.tcl" line 20) I do not know how the set the association within the shortcut. I added the "%1" %* to the end of the target line, but saw no where to enter the \Tcl-Tk++\bin\bltwish.exe" "%1" %* in its entirety. Adding the entire line to the end of the shortcut gives the same error message. -Original Message- From: Dima Klenchin [mailto:klenc...@facstaff.wisc.edu] Sent: Monday, July 27, 2009 17:49 To: Stuart Endo-Streeter Subject: Re: [ccp4bb] install issue on win vista - where is the ccp4i executable? >I can not find an executable or any way at all to launch ccp4i in any >directory. The executable is a script ccp4i.tcl found in \cp4-6.1.1\ccp4i\bin\. If you make a shortcut with that file as a target, the GUI should launch. If *.tcl files have no associations, you may not have Tcl/Tk installed properly. If it's just the association not set, set it manually: \Tcl-Tk++\bin\bltwish.exe" "%1" %* Dima
[ccp4bb] install issue on win vista - where is the ccp4i executable?
Hopefully someone knows what is going on here, I ran the installation for CCP4 6.1.1 from the automated installer on my new vista system. It ran with no error messages, but after completion there is no start menu entry (unlike what the wiki says should show up). I can not find an executable or any way at all to launch ccp4i in any directory. I have gone to /ccp4-6.1.1/ccp4i/bin and tried the files there, including the one named "ccp4i", but it has no accociation and does not launch. Does anyone have a clue what is going on here? I did the single-user install, was prompted for the administrator password, entered it, the istallation ran and seemed fine. I re-ran the installer to see if something was missing, everything was listed as installed. The ccp4mg viewer seems to work fine. According to the installation page Tcl/Tk and BLT should have been installed with ccp4i, so I do not know why the ccp4i interface is not launching. The environment variables are set to match the instructions on the installation page. Is something missing/broken in the installation files for use on vista? This is extremely frustrating and upsetting that after following the instructions ccp4 is not working. Thanks for any help, Stuart Endo-Streeter __ Stuart T.
