I too am having an issue getting Tracker to run:

Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit.

Latest Java 6 installed

Batch file updated to point to Java 6 (C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\java" -Xms512m -Xmx640m -jar "WitPTracker.jar")

The latest x86 C++ installed as directed.

Have the latest patch, and am running the latest Beta.

When I run the batch file I see a very brief flash of a DOS window, and that's it. Nothing else.

What do I need to do here?

Thanks

AU Tiger, make sure the second line of your bat file has pause on it, like this:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xms384m -Xmx768m -jar "WitPTracker.jar" nomap
pause

You will at least see the error messages that way.

Thanks. Did that and saw a path error in the command prompt. I fixed that and now have this (these) error messages...

AU Tiger, copy the file pwsdll.dll from the main WitP folder to your tracker folder. Delete all the trackerdb.** files and try again.

pwsdll.dll

Not good. I got an error message AND an insult to boot!

I just copied that file from the Beta2 folder, and it worked.


Thanks for your help! Please send your invoice to Skyros.

Has anyone come up with a way of doing a bulk export to CSV of the tracker files? At around 25 separate exports there must be a time saving way of doing a batch file of some sort?

i think tracker have some problems with java 7. i had java 7 64bits and it didnt work. Than i installed java 7 32 end made edit to include path to that file but tracker didnt start up. Than i found one post from a year ago where i read that i need java 6 32 bit and i installed that version also and witp tracker works afther that. Now i have 3 version of java installed on my PC but at least it works

Is there anybody here feeling generous enough to walk me through a reinstall tomorrow? I am missing something or making a wrong decision in the install that is keeping this awesome tool from working for me. If you would be so kind as to contact me via private message. Thanks...

I'm on a plane home until Monday ... sorry next week I can though

That would be great. What's the best way to proceed? Should we talk here or by email?

Thanks sir. I will let Damian have a whack at it if he's available. If not I will reconnect with you. Thanks!

Interesting idea... I suppose that's not that hard for some of the exports. Not for the history ones, though.

Looks like your PC is running out of memory. Can you restart the PC and see if it still happens?

Hey,

Tried it and didn´t work. I have 8GB of RAM and nothing else running in the background except OS related stuff using 2,9 GB. Very odd! Any ideas?

I've found -Xmx1024m (maximum memory allocation) doesn't work very well - reduce to 640 and see if it runs then maybe go to 768.

Hey,

I´ll try it next time it happens. I lost patience and cleared the db files! [:D]

I also did it (I had the problem with double airplane and engine production figures). It seems like a good idea once in a while - the tracker gets slower to start and close when the db's increase in size.

Did anyone manage to run the Tracker on a Windows 8 pro 64bit system?

Yes, no different from any other install... stick with Java 6 (32 bit) and C++ redistrib. (32bit)

As you have hinted in another post a new version is on the way have we any idea when it might appear?
