<SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'">Please elaborate. What varying behaviors are you seeing on different versions?</SPAN><BR>
<SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'">I have used start /wait a fair number of times and never noticed any differences among Windows versions, at least on NT versions since circa NT 4.</SPAN><BR>

<SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'"></SPAN> <BR>
<SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'">Definitely maybe some versions don't have any sort of start nor /wait, and start on Win9x is probably different than NT. start is a builtin command to NT cmd but an .exe on Win9x, as I vaguely recall.</SPAN><BR>

<P class=ecxMsoNormal>I have updated the comments on <SPAN style="COLOR: black">Ticket #1082</SPAN></P>
<P class=ecxMsoNormal> </P>
<P class=ecxMsoNormal>There are two postings, as shown below.</P>
<P class=ecxMsoNormal> </P>
<P class=ecxMsoNormal>Note that it looks like there is a problem with “START /WAIT …” command differences between Windows versions, so we may need to open up a new Trac ticket for this issue (see comment #2 below).</P>
<P class=ecxMsoNormal> </P>
<P class=ecxMsoNormal>FIRST COMMENT:</P>
<P class=ecxMsoNormal>---------------------</P>
<SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'">The "startReactor.CMD" file is obsolete and no longer in the repository.</SPAN><BR>
<SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'">The new files are in "scripts\install\windows" and should be copied to the "cm3\bin" folder on a windows installation.</SPAN><BR>
<SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'">"cm3StartIDE.CMD" replaces "startReactor.CMD". This file makes use of "cm3CommandShell.CMD", a script that ensures the environment is set up properly, including Visual C++.</SPAN><BR>
<SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'">It appears that the problem reporter has his installation rooted at E:\cm3 rather than C:\cm3. So, he will need to set an environment variable "set CM3_ROOT=E:\cm3" to let these scripts know where to find the cm3 installation. </SPAN><BR>
<SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'">Alternately, cm3CommandShell can be invoked with the arguments "Root E:\cm3" to tell it where to find the installation.</SPAN><BR>
<SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'">Today, I checked in an update to cm3CommandShell.CMD that allows it to search the current PATH environment variable in an attempt to find the root of the cm3 installation, so now if "E:\cm3\bin" is in your path, it will find it without having to set the CM3_ROOT or invoking with "Root E:\cm3". Hope this helps!</SPAN><BR>
<SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'">Note also that strictly speaking, these CMD files are not necessary; rather they are conveniences I’ve found useful under Windows. I also can supply some .REG files that will allow you to integrate these into the Explorer shell so that you can start a cm3 command shell in any folder and you can start CM3IDE.</SPAN><BR>
<SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'">SECOND COMMENT:<BR>---------------------</SPAN><BR>
<SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'">Ok as for CM3IDE timing out, I've been able to reproduce this problem on Vista.</SPAN><BR>
<SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'">There seems to be some difference I don't understand yet between the way the various Windows versions deal with the "START /WAIT ..." command.</SPAN><BR>
<SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'">Here is a "quick fix" until we come up with a better solution. Note that the downside here is that when you terminate your browser, CM3IDE will stay running, instead of terminating. You can restart your browser and point it back to the <A href="http://localhost:3800/"><SPAN class=ecxicon><SPAN style="COLOR: #bb0000; TEXT-DECORATION: none"> </SPAN></SPAN>http://localhost:3800/</A> URL and verify that it reconnects to CM3IDE. So, to terminate CM3IDE, you will have to use CTRL-C from its console output window.</SPAN><BR>
<SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'">Now for the quick fix:</SPAN><BR>
<SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'">1. Go to your CM3_IDE_HOME folder (e.g., C:\Users\RColeburn\Documents\CM3_IDE_Home).</SPAN><BR>
<SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'">2. Open the most recent CM3_IDE.cfg file in notepad (e.g., notepad CM3_IDE.cfg1).</SPAN><BR>
<SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'">3. Edit the line toward the end of the file that begins with "proc start_browser". On this line change TRUE to FALSE. Note that case is significant.</SPAN><BR>
<SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'">Now try cm3IDE.exe, or cm3_StartIDE.CMD. It should work for you now as described above.</SPAN><BR>
<SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'">Regards,<BR>Randy Coleburn</SPAN><BR>
