Locale problem ?

Hi,

My applicatgion seems to get mixed up in locale directories.

When I start up Visualworks in a Windows XP session first my runtime application seems to startup correctly.

If I don't its get stuck with the enclosed error log:

Another thing I noticed is that the whenever I start the runtime, the Visualworks home directory is changed ??

Any explanation help ??

Maarten,

On top of the error log I get the following message from Windows XP :

Author Said: [hidden email] |

Oké I cannot reproduce this for the moment, I was suspecting a net request in this matter.

On initializing my application does something like:

request := Net.HttpRequest get: 'http://stakepoint.com/files/support/stakepointupdateBeta.cfgx'.

And as I am behind a proxy server this fails.

By the way, did anyone manage to deal with proxy scripts in VW:

I have one which is like:

http://webproxycfg.intranet.ntbs.net/ntbs-in.pac

which states:

function FindProxyForURL(url,host) { if ( isPlainHostName(host) || shExpMatch(host,"*.ntbs.net") || shExpMatch(host,"localhost") || isInNet(host,"89.147.200.82", "255.255.255.255") || isInNet(host,"10.0.0.0", "255.0.0.0") || isInNet(host,"127.0.0.0", "255.255.255.0") || isInNet(host,"192.168.0.0", "255.255.0.0") ) return "DIRECT"; else return "PROXY 10.160.193.14:8080";

Hi Les,

My runtime images are made with James's Building tools. On launching my application the Windows registry gets changed from:

To something like this:

I did not at all asks the application to change the windows registry !!!   This seems to be done by the VM is that correct ??

I actually try to deliver my application with its own message catalogs, but here is where the problems starts:

Before saving the final image I have the vanilla build image loaded with a runtime settings file specifying my runtime message directory:    $(VISUALWORKS)\messages

As it find's the message catalogs the application will break before getting to my application. This is what happened in the error.log

However, if I simply rename my message directory, the messages are not found the Application will open correctly and provide the correct local:  #'fr_FR.Windows-1252'  in my case.

You can grab my application from here to see for yourself, http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5848367/StakePoint_0.6070_Setup_CNIM.exe

and some example planning to import in the default acces file from here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5848367/Planning%20APM%202012%20%2013%20mars%202012%20-%202.stp

If started corrrectly (without finding its catalogs) it will create a transcript log with the local. It would be interesting to know what behaviour it has under other then french locals.

This problems with the registry raises some additional questions. Is the key automatically created  by any VW application on windows ? How can I avoid or by pass this ? Shall I create my own

VISUALWORKS key within a Software sub directory of the registry ?

Thanks in advance,

Maarten,
