Htr:
Remove msys out of your path.


Fix:



Env:
Microsoft Windows Vista

-------------------------------------+--------------------------------------
  I am new to modula-3 but have tried a few times to get cm3 working on my
  MS-Windows machines over the years. This is my new attempt at that. I
  downloaded the NT386 files and have them unpacked. I have put cm3 in
  e:\cm3 and have e:\cm3\bin in my path. The first problem I came across is
  that when I ran cminstall it asked for a tar.exe, gzip.exe, and
  msys-1.0.dll. I just happened to have msys installed on my computer and
  dropped them in the folder and cminstall seemed to work. I just wanted to
  let you know. Second, e:\cm3\bin\cm3ide.exe was in the bin directory and
  so I ran it per the suggestion on your website. It asked a few questions
  about what browser I wanted to use and such. The browser does pop up on
  localhost:3800 but times out. The console spits out:

  Recovering user state from E:\cm3\bin\CM3_IDE.cfg1
  calling start_browser(http://localhost:3800/)
  starting TCP service
  start /wait "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
  http://localhost:3800/
  CM3-IDE is shutting down because start_browser() returned TRUE.
  TCPServer: IP.Error: TCP.Unexpected  ***  10093  ***  TCP.Accept
  TCPServer: aborting...

  I am thinking maybe something else might be running on the port and
  causing a problem loading page. I copied the startReactor.cmd to the bin
  directory and tried it and got the following:

   
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  startReactor.CMD, written by R.C.Coleburn 08/13/2003, v1.13 08/29/2003 by
  RCC
   
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  FATAL ERROR:  Unable to find CM3 installation.
            CM3_ROOT expected in folder C:\cm3
            CM3_BIN  expected in folder C:\cm3\bin
            CM3.EXE  expected in file   C:\cm3\bin\cm3.exe
         Reactor.EXE expected in file   C:\cm3\bin\reactor.exe
  cm3SetupCmdEnv.CMD expected in file   C:\cm3\bin\cm3SetupCmdEnv.CMD
   
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Which it is installed on e: instead of c: but there is not a reactor.exe
  file in the bin directory either. From that information I am thinking I
  should define CM3_ROOT and CM3_BIN in my environment? I put CM3_HOME as
  e:\cm3.

  This is FYI and will let you know if I continue and any other experiences
  that might be of use.

  Thank You,
  Micah
