Wolfwood, let me guess: You run the exe by double clicking on it immediately after copying it? If so, then you must run it using the RunOolite.bat file, in the root directory of your installation. The hint is the first three lines of your stderr. Normally GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT etc. should be set by this batch file, but they don't seem to be set here.
Ugh, you are right there... I don't know how I managed to forget that part... :?

The Compase is on the F5 screen and sort of works. When near the Main Stations I still get the "Station Co-Ordinates Uploaded" and the square for the station appears, but \ doesn't work anymore to check beacons. No biggy, the planets look excellant. Lots of variety in colour, clouds and land!
I am not sure what is going on there, LB. I tried to reproduce this in a variety of ways and in a number of savegames, but for me it works as it always did. If you have a way of reproducing the compass behaviour, can you please provide step by step instructions on how? Better still, if you have a savegame that you could send me, where this occurs regularly, I would like to have a look at it. Please send to nikbar2004 at yahoo dotcom.

FYI there is a script in the tools directory called mkwinsnapshotinst.sh that will build a Windows installer using the NullSoft installation system.

This is what I use for making my installers.

On the Space Compase.

It DOES work, but the control to cycle the beacons is now # (at least on a UK keyboard) rather than \.

Have tried using 1.67. All seems to work ok, but is very slow in comparison to 1.65. Sticks all the time - which is not a good sign. I'll revert back to 1.65 for now. Keep up the good work.
It's a fine line between clever and stupid
