[Xerte] [Xerte 3] Problem getting Xerte 3 running with Windows 7

[Julian Tenney]

Should run 64bit and shouldn't need to add any more paths.

I would try making a batch file with a simple mxmlc call in it:

--
mxmlc C:\test\test.mxml
pause

place a simple mxml file in c:\test that you can compile.
See what happens. Then start adding in other parts of the command until we find the problem.

I think it might be the (86) in the path that is screwing things up.

fcsh is an mxmlc wrapper that makes mxmlc fast to re-use when compiling projects.  fcsh has handy features like not handling spaces in file paths, and Xerte's method for getting short filenames is not bulletproof yet. [I've logged a bug with the Flex team]

Subject: [Xerte] [Xerte 3] Problem getting Xerte 3 running with Windows 7

I am just setting up a new PC running windows 7 home premium, it has the latest version of Open Office installed which has installed the Java runtime.

When I first installed and then tried to run Xerte 3 (having configured the location of the flex sdk in the Xerte config file) I obtained an error relating to

C:\Program Files (86)\Java\jre6\bin\client\jvm.dll

The solution was to add to the path system variable the folder in which file msvcr71.dll could be found, in this case I added

;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\
to the system path.

Xerte 3 is installed in c:\ Program Files (86)\XerteProject

I have created a project in Xerte and added a panel to the Application.

However when I try to build the project I am getting the following displayed in the output window.

************
mxmlc -accessible=true -optimize=true -incremental=true -target-player 10.1 -debug=false LearningObject.mxml -output=C:\xerte3Projects\ProjectTest\bin\LearningObject.swf -library-path+=C:\Progra~1\XerteP~1\Xerte3\lib -source-path=C:\Progra~1\XerteP~1\Xerte3

fcsh: Assigned 1 as the compile target id
Loading configuration file C:\FlexHero\frameworks\flex-config.xml
command line: Error: unable to open 'C:\Progra~1\XerteP~1\Xerte3\lib'Use 'mxmlc -help' for information about using the command line.(fcsh) (fcsh)
***************

Do I need to be adding further paths to the system path?
Are there problems installing or running Xerte on 64 bit systems?

Kind regards

Johnathan
