Hi,

Same problem here with the m5.

At first, I had a "cannot read file" error. After copying the dll into the tracker directory, the error disappeared, but the turn does not load.

The command console reports "exception in thread AWT-eventqueue-0 java.lang.unsatisfiedLinkError", related to the dll, saying configuration incorrect. Then another series of messages which most certainly result from the previous one. I don't know much about java messages, but the failure seems to happen in LoadLibrary(), called from file JNIpws.java
at line 20 (itself called from function ReadScenarioTurnNumber).

what date is the dll ? I've got one from the 16/5 and the M5 is from the 9/5 (Proper Calendar format)

So I'm not sure what Michael has bundled together or why the M5 has a dll earlier ... The dll (16/5) works on my machine for M5 beta

[edit]Can you test this for me and get back to me about it.
I think you can get the dll here http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/fb.asp?m=2814034

Windows 7 64 bit, C++ 2008 with sp1. Yes I am putting the DLL into the tracker folder also.

Do you have the C++ 2005 redistributable too ? And look in the message above about the date of the dll ... not sure if that is anything though

[Edit two]
Just tested both again and the dll versions are making no difference for me. 'Tis a mystery

Hi Damian,

I tested the other one, and got exactly the same error. What might explain the problem is that the turn was played on m5 with the 9/5 DLL, ie the 9/5 DLL would create the incompatibility in the save file. A way to test it might be to play a turn with the 9/5 DLL, and try to reopen it in tracker...

Another question. If I update the DLL, will old savefiles still work? In other words, if I reload a game from saves made before the update, will tracker and the new DLL manage, or shall I convert the savefiles in AE before?

Thanks in advance
Francois

I do not have the 2005 C++ installed and I guess I'll not install it, the 2008 should work since it does work for the m3 and earlier games. I guess I will have to wait until it all gets resolved later.

Looks odd. Please send me the save and the witptracker.properties files to witptracker @ gmail.com.

The duplicates you saw in your earlier post are likely due to a turn not fully being loaded and then you tried to load it again.

A nifty capability to have on the LCU screen would be to have one of the "Special" categories display paratroop capable units.

Just a thought.

I am also unable to run tracker with the latest 1108m5 beta. Worked fine up to 1108m2 beta. I deleted all the tracker files tried to initialise from scratch and got the following error message. I am using win xp sp3.

Can you put the new dll in the tracker folder and try that iirc there are 2 different ones one with the M4 and an earlier dated one for the M5

Sorry same error with both dll files. I used the 9 may and 16 may dll files from the m5 and m4 betas. Error message is exactly the same in both cases. Starting from a new install tracker.

OK - gotta get some sleep now but can you tell me which C++ redistributable you are using the 2005 or the 2008. You can find this information in the control panel - programs section.

Not sure what's happening here but maybe these dll's were made by a different compiler version or Java has become corrupted or a pathing problem. Will try to get back to you soon once I've thought more about it and it's not the early hours of the AM

I seem to have both 2005 and 2008 C++ installed - with different versions ? see screenshot. note it all worked fine up to 1108m2 beta so I would be very reluctant to mess around with my C++ or java installs.
I have sent witp properties and latest save game file to witptracker@gmail.com.

Yeah don't mess around with it. Just checking to see what you had as a guy yesterday had an error with only the 2008 installed.

I guess the previous tracker install still works too ... anyway more tomorrow.

Hi, guys.� I have a slight problem.

I accidentally skipped a turn and then loaded the next one, leaving a gap in the records.� I know I can't load a turn I skipped, so I renamed the trackerdb files (so as not to lose them entirely) and tried to reinitialize the data base.� When I try to do a multiple turn read, though, I keep getting a message that there are no unread files in the directory.

The normal file is wpae015.pws, so following the example on the web site I renamed my archive files (normally wpae050.pws through wpae059.pws, with the last digit corresponding to the turn number) wpae015-xx.pws, where xx is the actual turn number.� Still no luck, and most of these files were created before reading the original 015 into Tracker.

It would appear I'm overlooking something, but what?� I don't need to recover all the turns since the start of the game (in fact, I've been thinking of restarting the Tracker records, anyway, just because they're taking longer and longer to load), but would at least like to get the turn I missed and a few more for continuity.

If it makes a difference, the game is the latest official release (no beta) and Tracker is the latest version without any beta dlls.

Simply put - Side-by-Side errors are about the dll not correctly connecting to the program running it (tracker);

They are cause by a number of different things:
1. You don't have the correct C++ redistributable installed (x86) - even if running 64 bit sys
2. Some corruption has occurred to that installation.(There has been some corruption of dll files)
3. Virus ... hmmm probably not.
4. The machine C++ configuration making the dll (michael) has a C++ update different from yours. Usually a windows update. (No I'm not blaming Micheal here - this is just a known cause according to the WWW)
5. Using the wrong dll associated with the Patch and hence for Tracker.

The solution in 4 long steps:
* No 1 is not necessary but would be interesting to hear your results.
** No 2 - if you have these already and still getting errors then I suggest an uninstall and reinstall of the C++ libraries
*** 2010 C++ (I don't need these to run Tracker- but included the link just in case)

1) Run As Administrator - CMD Prompt
type: sfc /scannow
Let it finish and reboot.

2) Download and Install these files:
a. Download details: Microsoft Visual C 2005 Redistributable Package (x86)
b. Download details: Microsoft Visual C 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86)
c. Download details: Microsoft Visual C 2008 Redistributable Package (x86)
d. Download details: Microsoft Visual C 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86)
e. Download details: Microsoft Visual C 2010 Redistributable Package (x86)
4) Run windows Update after (3)
3) Check Java is up to date

These are the redist I have installed

Hi CaptD,
How can the 015 file be made after the other turns ? The first turn loaded should be the earliest turn ... unless I'm reading incorrectly. Gotta go now (back later)

But you did see an "Initializing WitPTracker AE database" message when you started up the program after renaming the files, right? If not, then you didn't reinitialize the database. There are usually four trackerdb files - did you get all of them?

Timestamp doesn't matter - the program reads every file that has a name matching the SaveFile pattern looking for turns that haven't been loaded.

OK, finally. I don't know what did it. I removed my 2008 C++ package and installed the 2005, 2008, and 2010 C++ packages. Did about 4 updates, one of them was very major. Now I seem to be able to start a new database using the m5a exe and the May 9th DLL. Thank you Floyd and Damien, I can now start my new ironman game.
