How does this goes?
I did install both 2005 redistributable libs (x86 and x64) and did a manual update. But the problem remain. There are two cases (both starting from an empty db)
See my sig, but take from the game folder if you updated to the latest.

Uaer Defineable Thresholds

You guys provide Alerts from a bunch of things .... ever consider a "user defineable threshold" ?
Could be for a variety of things ....... I deal with alot of "live" data and find this feature valuable for changing situations ....
Just an idea ....

Interesting idea, but I'm thinking that the programming overhead to add that in would be extensive. We may be able to add specific ones, but a generic feature could be prohibitive.

Are you running 32 or 64 bit? What's your bat file look like?

Looks like you've either uninstalled Java or you've moved Tracker into another folder & Java is not presently configured to be seen by your system.
Java Not Found
This will show up as an error message:
Java is not recognized as an internal or external command
Java 32 bit is either not installed, or there is a pathing problem.
Solution 1. Check you have Java JRE 32bit installed.
Solution 2. Move the WitPTracker folder to the Desktop or C:\
Solution 3. Copy java.exe from your C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin to the WitPTracker folder (remember copy not move)
Solution 4. Change your witptracker.bat file to point to the 32 bit Java executable (you need the quotes because of the space) - this varies on different machines so you'll need to check the path:
32bitOS users
C:\"Program Files"\Java\jre6\bin\java -Xms384m -Xmx512m -jar "WitPTracker.jar"
pause
64bitOS users
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xms384m -Xmx512m -jar "WitPTracker.jar"
pause
Solution 5. (The best, but most difficult)
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 separate it from the other important paths
7. If this doesn't work then you may have to reinstall Java and try again
I'd go with Option 4

Hi there Damian.
Well John how did you go working your problem out. I have hit the same problem when installing tracker. Followed all the suggestions as best I could but still coming up blank.

Hello guys!
Well, after having a break from AE ( I know, I know....) [:-] I decided to restart my first campaign from the beginning and updated AE to the newest release. I still use the same machine with the same software (Java being regularly updated) and once had Tracker 1.8 installed and running perfectly. For the new campaign I deleted it to get a proper and clean reinstall. Now I don't understand what's going wrong here:
Thanks very much for any hint, please forgive my dumbness......

Guys,
Moving to a new PC, 64-bit versus the older one 32-bit and Windows 7 versus Windows XP. Got Tracker working OK now. Loaded Java from Google's Chrome, which is only 32-bit so I guess that got around the 64-bit Java issue.
What I wanted to mention is that I did run into the pathing issue, which seems strange as on the old XP system - I checked - the Java installation folder was NOT part of the path. And yet Java always runs fine there. On the new (Windows 7) system it wouldn't run until I put it in the path (had to spell it correctly, too [:D]).
Just thought I would mention that because it is strange - no path entry on XP and Java works fine. No path entry on Windows 7 and Java didn't run.

I can't get tracker to work, and I need it to work, as I am lost without it. [&o][&o][&o]
I get these errors if I load the batch exe -
and I get this if I load the Application exe -
ERROR: Save game file "C:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition - Pbem\SAVE\wpae006pws" could not be opened.
ERROR: Problem with save game file. Exiting.

Hi Divepac,
The message is because you are trying to run a 64 bit version of java. You need to edit the WitPTracker.bat script into something like...
C:\"Program Files (x86)"\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe -Xms384m -Xmx512m -jar "WitPTracker.jar"
telling tracker to use the 32 bit Java installed on your machine (and not the defaut 64).

Only if you want Quicktime
not to work again...
In my opinion, the surest way is to just open WitpTracker.Bat (in the tracker directory, rightclick and select "modify"), and then replace the word "java" at the beginning of the command by
C:\"Program Files (x86)"\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe
(mind the quotes around Program Files (x86) )
Judging by the screenshot you posted, it should work

Ok thanks fcharton getting some of it, but sorry I'm very fuzzy on this sort of stuff.
So in the line below, what would I change it to read, and do I leave the quote marks in please?
RE: Install Issue

Type this...
C:\"Program Files (x86)"\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe -Xms384m -Xmx512m -jar "WitPTracker.jar"
pause
The quotes around "Program Files (x86)" are mandatory (because there are blanks in the name of the directory, else Windows gets terribly confused), those around WitpTracker.jar much less so (I just tried without, and it seems to work ok).
Hope this helps
Francois
