Well tried pretty much everything. Looks like a no-go for Windows 7 at the moment,bummer.
My brain hurts from internet research. Will have to think of something tomorrow.

There are so many variables with java. In most iterations I haven't been able to get this to work, so I don't use this now. But good luck to you. At least it may work for some people

What are you talking about ? This is NOT a java issue ... it is a MS C++ redistributable + *.dll issue with ONLY AMD & WINDOWS 7 (NOTHING ELSE) ... this is the first time you've posted here, so if you want my help, send some screen shots of your dos screen errors with OS version. Java issues can be fixed pretty quickly.

I completely agree with Damian. Many of us have had no problem getting Tracker to work properly, it is your particular system that has a problem. Post screen shots of error reports and let the developers help you.

The initial problems start with the message "...'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." Java and C++ are up to date on my system. I tried a few tweaks with this, and it has resulted in various error messages. I've not been able to figure out a solution based upon the info in the doco or here, so forgive me for not being patient enough (apparently)

No problem, IF you have Java installed, the problem is a pathing problem with Java, which sometimes occurs unfortunately. Move the Tracker folder into the root c:\ to see if this quickly fixes the problem or I'll get you to set you Windows Environment variables correctly or get you to copy Java.

This is an unfortunate thing that sometimes happens with Java installations on some machines.

Let me know ... I'm going out for a bit, but here are some instructions if the Tracker move gave you no joy...
Damian

1. Right-Click My Computer and select Properties
2. Then Click The Advanced Tab
3. Then Click Environment Variables
4. Select Path In The Bottom Box and Click Edit
5. Find Where You installed Java (E.g "C:\Program Files\Java\bin)
Its different on each computer so check where it's installed
6. Make Sure to add a semicolon after the word bin in the path to seperate it from the other important paths
7. If this doesnt work then you may have to reinstall Java and Try Again
Source(s):
http://www.java.com/en/download/help/path.xml

Setting Path on Windows
For Windows XP: (additional notes)

1. Start -> Control Panel -> System -> Advanced
2. Click on Environment Variables, under System Variables, find PATH, and click on it.
3. In the Edit windows, modify PATH by adding the location of the class to the value for PATH. If you do not have the item PATH, you may select to add a new variable and add PATH as the name and the location of the class as the value.
4. Close the window.
5. Reopen Command prompt window, and run your java code.

Yes! This works. Some sort of problem with having it on the D drive where the game is installed..but working on C drive. Thank you

Mike,
welcome to AE Tracker

Probably best not to include your product key in the post

Is this Windows 7 or Vista 64 ?
Strange you have an AMD warning on a Intel system. Did you use the correct MS patch ? vcredist_x64.exe ?

Thanks for the welcome to AE Tracker. I'm prepping for the second patch and wanna get my favorite tool for this game installed.

Vista 64 - and yup vcredist_x64.exe. I have both the 32 bit and 64 bit Java as I use IE 32 sometimes. Would that be a problem?

Is the problem with pwsdll.dll?

Well, this version is a bit better than the original Tracker IMO, and getting better all the time ... anyway enough of thumping my chest.
Java shouldn't be a problem at the moment -- you're getting *.dll errors nothing to do with Java.
Uninstall the MS 64 bit C++ redistributable patch and reapply ...
I've even had some that have had to go back to the original redistributable and then patch up.
If this doesn't work, then uninstall again and try the 32 bit x86.

Still I've never seen the AMD error on an intel system, so I'm a little confused too. I know these things a pain in the rear, but different things help different 64 bit users... there seems not to be just one solution (mostly thanks to MS)

Yeah, it is all to do with the *.dll that AE uses, witp never had this security feature, but it makes loading turns faster in Tracker.
I just went back through some notes and Kull had a similar problem which was fixed by using the 32 bit version ... crazy but true.

Good luck and Nemo has just sent me a turn, so I'm back in the action

Hi Damian,

I'm beginning to think the problem is the AMD thing... I've tried bith 32 and 64 versions of C++ - no joy. If you have other ideas feel free to toss them my way <grin>. I'll see if I can find something on C++ confusing Intel w/AMD processors.

Just a quick update - I found a thread while searching the AMD error - I had to strip Java 64-bit and C++ 64-bit and reload Java 32 plus C++ 32. Also, for some reason the batch file for Tracker was unable to see Java in the x86 folder (Default installation location on Vista). A quick and dirty fix is to copy the Java.exe file into the tracker directory after installing Java 32 bit.

And thanks again to U & Floyd 4 Tracker - its a grand tool.

I have been a member for 6 years (obviously a quiet one) and I have just now figured out what everyone has been posting about tracker. This program rocks. No more pencil and paper for me. Seriously, to the programers, thank you for your time. This is an unbeleivable aid to the game and now I may finally take the plunge and play the Japaneese side of the equation in a PBEM. Thank you

Very curious. I have the tracker installed on my win7 64 bit computer.

It worked once, the first time I installed the tracker. Now I can start the tracker, but if i try to load the current turn the tracker closes. I have the following error report:

#

Is there any help for me? ;)

Reading in a new turn requires more memory than the default JVM uses.

I assume you're not running from the witptracker.bat file, which sets the needed memory allocation. If you go back a few pages in this thread, Damian outlined how to do this if you're running from the .jar file.

It has to be how the JVM is picking up the memory setting options. I don't know how the cmd.exe works, but maybe it's not sending the needed parameters to Java.

Floydg,

If this has been asked before, please forgive the repeat. Is it possible track 2 seperate games at one time with the tracker program and if so how.

Thanks for all the hard work and for answering dumb questions

You're most welcome.

You can track two separate games by creating separate folders for each one. At present, you'll need to make a complete installation (witptracker.jar, lib folder, pwsdll.dll, etc) and just set the witptracker.properties to different (appropriate) settings, but it'll work.

Ask a dumb question, get an easy solution. I really should have thought that one all the way through. The solution made too much sense for me to have figured it out.

Thanks; it is working on both games.

Also, is FOW an issue in PBEM games. Will the tracker reveal more information than the game will with FOW on?

Floydg,

If this has been asked before, please forgive the repeat. Is it possible track 2 seperate games at one time with the tracker program and if so how.

Thanks for all the hard work and for answering dumb questions

You're most welcome.

You can track two separate games by creating separate folders for each one. At present, you'll need to make a complete installation (witptracker.jar, lib folder, pwsdll.dll, etc) and just set the witptracker.properties to different (appropriate) settings, but it'll work.

There are a few FOW issues at present. One is that the daily aircraft losses don't match up by plane model, but the total does match up. There is also some enemy sunk ship FOW I'm not 100% sure of. Otherwise, we strive not to show something the game doesn't.
