Do you want to try out trunk, but can't compile it yourself?

News and discussion of the PC port of Oolite.

Moderators: winston, another_commander

Why have you downloaded this installer?

I want to test the OXP I'm making.

Do you have these 'stripes' (red or green colored?) from the very first beginning when your laptop was repaired? In most cases stripes are indicating a mem-problem, graphics card or mainboard, and the reason is very often ... heat or faulty mem in new devices.

btw: When I mentioned vendors drivers, I didn't meant to download them from Nvidia. Your laptop company has in most cases own drivers, a little bit changed to prevent the laptop from burning.

Could also be that something Vista is going on, with hidden files, that could explain the installer claiming that the trunk had already been installed etc.
99.99% likely.

No problems here. :D

99.97% Unlikely.

No problems here.
Vista Ultimate, x64 build, IE8, Active X, full-blown Outlook, RSAT, and a ton of other stuff that I use regularly.

If it was a Vista/OS issue, it would be REPRODUCIBLE on a like system.

I asked L to test the RAM in his machine, and he hasn't mentioned anything more about that, so, assuming all is well on that front, I'm beginning to suspect Registry issues at the heart of the problems..

I can do a full re-install of the trunk via A_C's "easy way installation for Windows", but "svn up" doesn't work for me and neither does your installer ...

That is the status quo atm, and I'm "solving" this for the moment by doing a complete re-install every week or so :?

I can live with it, though 8)

And thanks from me too, as I now have a shiny new portable trunk version on my SD card, so I can work over the next few weeks to begin updating all my OXPs for 1.73 whilst I'm on the road :D

Svengali and Thargoid, thank you, and I'm glad you're finding it useful for productive work.. and not just to have the latest and greatest.. (which is what my poll is actually about.. simply to see how many use it for what, and how many regular 'customers' I have) :D

I need to update my "vote" to reflect that I'm now using it to make an OXP. :P

As an experiment, beginning with SVN2318, I have modified the installer so that it will preserve GNUstep settings. After this point, it should no longer be necessary to back up your .GNUstepDefaults file in the manner described in my original post. Should you notice any problems apparently caused by this change, please let me know as soon as possible by Private Message or this thread.

(Testing on my system indicates that, for some reason, it may not preserve the GNUstep folder the first time you use the new installer, but after that, things work as advertised.)

I have uploaded the newly modified SVN2318 installer in place of the 2318 installer I placed there earlier today.
