Ok, two things to try:

1) Make sure you have the proper C++ Libraries installed (you can download the installer from here).

2) I'm seeing the Java.exe file missing from your Tracker folder. You need to make a copy of it from the folder - then place the copy in your Tracker folder.

I have a copy of the Java.exe file in the Tracker folder, and my WitPTracker.bat file looks like the following:

Is it one of these?

Close - make sure you are in the Program Files(x86) folder - this is the folder that keeps all your 32 bit programs. There will be a mirror Java folder over there. Find the Java folder and go to the bin (not lib) subfolder within it, the Jave.exe file will be there.

This, but from the x86 folder?

I did the C++ update earlier today.

Java folder should look like this:




And the Tracker folder will look something like this (ignore that I have a couple extra files like a saved game and the Java_old file, those are just leftovers from me fiddling about awhile ago):

Here's the tracker folder now. Got the same error.

My java is not java.exe but is the same size.

Are you sure that you moved all the Tracker files over there?

I'm seeing a couple missing, comparing mine to yours:

trackerdb.properties
witptracker.properties

How do I generate the first three folders, or will that happen after I get past any errors?

Yes, but the Betas come with two - one version for 32-bit the other for 64-bit. They are named:
pwsdll.dll
pwsdll7.dll

The one ending in '7' is the 64-bit version (required for Java 7). Copy that one into your Tracker folder.

Here they are

You know, I'm just thinking. Isn't it true that tracker won't work until the second turn? For all it knows this is the first turn. Unless you think of something else I'll wait until 1/7/42 to run it.

Betcha that's it.

That's done. Thanks to both of you guys. I'll report after I finish this turn and get it back from Steve.

That could be a problem in itself, but I still think there is a 32/64bit mismatch.

I edited my WitPTracker.bat file and have attached it within a .zip file here. Instead of looking for the Java.exe file in the Tracker folder, it goes straight to the source in the Java folder.

Make a backup copy of your WitPTracker.bat file, then extract mine into your Tracker folder.

Edit: Sorry, I goofed. The 1st upload .bat file had the wrong path. I've corrected it and uploaded it again.

Edit2: Ok - I goofed twice! The java.exe was cut off of the path somehow. I've corrected it and re-uploaded (again). Sorry! I'll start another pot of coffee [:D]

Here's what that did.

See my re-re-upload [:D]

I don't think there's anything to lose by waiting til next turn.
