Don't worry -
You probably downloaded the wrong file. Try the vcredist_x86.exe (even if you have an AMD or x64OS).

You'll probably need to do a windows update after you've installed this too ..

Ok,

I have Win 7, SP 1 installed.
I have run both the x86 and x64 c++ SP1 updates.
I have updated my java to the latest files.
I have downloaded and installed the tracker-files, and I have changed the property-file to match the game I want to run.

I am still only on the setup-turn for the savefile, is that a problem?

I get the message
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.unsatisfiedlinkerror [path to tracker] Cant load IA 32-bit.dll on a AMD 64-bit platform


God, I feel old.

Doing well so far...guess you have 64bit win7. You don't need the x64 c++ SP. Can you reinstall the x86 again and do a windows update manually ?

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:

64bitOS users
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xms384m -Xmx512m -jar "WitPTracker.jar"
pause

The Java version should be 6 not 7 also.

Here is where I run into trouble...

I have entered the path correctly to the java.exe -file, but I get the "path cannot be found" (translated). In my file structure, the folder is called "program (x86)" instead of "program files (x86).

Why do I get the "path not found" message when I know the path is correct? I have tracker installed in a separate folder under my games folder, but that should not matter...right?

Your version must be different from normal English versions. Change the path to "program (x86)". If you've already done this then I'm a little confused. The path should be absolute. [edit] Getting late. Gotta get some sleep. Try and pick this up again tomorrow.

Thanks for the help. I'll keep working over here, but I have no real idea why this is not working.

Try with "program files (x86)" too. The name of the folder, as it shows up on your desktop, is not necessarily that used by the system. For instance, on my French speaking machine, the "Users" folder displays as "Utilisateurs", but the correct path to it is "c:\users".

Also, check that you have jre6 installed, this is what Tracker wants, but some recent machines come with jre7 installed only. In this case, your path will be wrong (and you will need to install jre6, too...)

Ah, that did it. Now Ive gotten the right path. Weird machine to translate things on the screen but not "under the hood".

Still doesnt work though, but Ive gotten one step closer I guess...

Java version is jre-1_5_0_17-windows-i586-p.exe 

You have JRE 1.5. Have you ever gotten WitPTracker to work under that version of the JRE? I only use 1.6, so I don't know if that version will work.

Delete the trackerdb.* files.
Copy the pwsdll.dll file from the game folder to the WitPTracker folder.
Try running the WitPTracker.bat again.

I can see you're really close to getting it operational now. Sure you have the right pwsdll.dll in the Tracker folder ?

I believe the new one in the game folder will work with either old game saves (pre-patch) or post-patch. The one that Tracker comes with (zip) only works with pre-patch save versions.

Are you using a beta patch version running off the beta2 directory? If so, you would need the DLL from that one.

Also, if you are using the MP version of the EXE, there is a different DLL that needs to be copied and renamed.

Yeah, you are close -- that error is most likely an issue with the DLL.

Im running version 1.0.6.1108r9 from Jan 21st 2012.

Im using the .exe that is in my AE-folder, that means Im not using the .exe in the beta2 folder or the MP version of the .exe (whatever that means).

My pwsdll.dll is "latest changed" on 2012-01-01 at 10:38, but was "created" on 2012-01-21

My tracker has been working fine for many months now.

I have not performed any updates or changed anything. The tracker was working fine yesterday when last I played.

Today . . . I get an error:

Any hints about how I can get this to work?
