installer of 3.12.5 not working

Post by J-J » Tue Jan 12, 2016 9:45 am

Good morning,
I have a problem with the Windows 64 bit installer:
ver3.12.5-install.jpg
ver3.12.5-install.jpg (96.49 KiB) Viewed 16296 times
Before, the installer was offering a QCAD directory, not this time?
any idea...

Does it work if you add a directory to the path (i.e. "C:\Program Files\QCAD" or "C:\Program Files\QCAD 3.12.5")?

Hi Guys

Same problem for me, but "C:\Program Files\QCAD" works fine.

Hello Andrew,
Yes, the installer will work when typing in a directory.

But I now have a problem to launch my default start-up drawing with the command:

"C:\Program Files\QCAD-3.12.5\qcad.exe" -exec .\template.js

The program will launch, but closes right away, it launches OK if the script is not invoked.

I normally have "template.js" and the file in the main directory where QCAD resides
"templates.js" is a small script you wrote for me some time ago.

OK, I've uploaded fixed installers.

I don't remember what template.js does.. Perhaps starting with -enable-script-debugger helps to figure out what is going on?

OK, but how can I invoke the debugger? :oops:

Here's the script:
var mainWindow = RMainWindowQt.getMainWindow();
var doc = mainWindow.getDocument();
var di = mainWindow.getDocumentInterface();

di.importFile("nouveau_dessin.dwg");
di.regenerateScenes();
di.autoZoom();
doc.setFileName("");

OK, is there any reason why you cannot use File > New from Template.. to create a new drawing using an existing template document?

That would be through the -enable-script-debugger command line argument:

"C:\Program Files\QCAD-3.12.5\qcad.exe" -enable-script-debugger -exec .\template.js

It is just more convenient to have it by default when I launch QCAD

I'll try the command line
thanks

here's the debug window
QCAD closes on subsequent step

Sorry, no knowledge in scripting...
This script was still functioning with the previous release, (QCAD in X86 directory)

just some more info: at the first stop of the debugger, the file is indeed visible in QCAD. Something must be different in the following steps and generating a conflict. I reinstalled previous version, script OK. e_confused .
