xTimeComposer Studio won't open... (13.1.0 or any other)

Post by stuartwoodrandom »

Hi,

Seen this a few times and nothing seems to be able to fix the issues I'm having. I've run numerous versions of xTIMEComposer in the past up to 12.something and were all working perfectly until I tried to open it again a few weeks ago and the start menu short-cut came up with:

"The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142). Click OK to close the application"


I tried running the xtimecomposer.exe manually and it opens but then I get the SetEnv.bat wasn't called error:

"The xTIMEComposer was unable to locate the XMOS toolchain binaries" ...

and when I run the SetEnv.bat it flashes up a cmd window and closes again in an instant. I have tried inputting the stuff from the SetEnv.bat file manually within the command prompt (Community 13.1.0) but when I run the xtimecomposer.exe either from the cmd prompt OR from windows explorer, it still says about the SetEnv not being called (see above).

Kindda banging my head against a wall here!!! I use xTimeComposer regularly and it's very important to my workflow. Any help would be greatly greatly appreciated!!!!


Note: this happens with the 12.whatever version, 11.11.1 and the newest 13.1.0 community versions (I'm mainly trying the newest versions now)

Hi,

Assuming you are running windows, opening the xtimecomposer command prompt (either from the start menu or the desktop icon) should automatically run the setenv.bat for you. From here you should be able to type 'xtimecomposer' and the gui should start. The IDE simply checks if it can find 'xcc' on the path and emits the message you are seeing if it cant. So, I guess maybe you could try opening the xtimecomposer command prompt and trying to run xcc. If this is not found, maybe make sure that it exists (should be in the bin directory), and also check that this dir can be founs from your %PATH%.

Hope this helps,
Cheers,
kris.
