[Equest-users] equest 3.65 XP on Oracle VM

[via Equest-users]

Hi Chris,

 

You could try moving the eQuest 3-65 Data and eQuest 3-65 Projects
directories from your Documents (or My Documents) directory to somewhere
local (like your desktop), then update the contents of eQUEST.ini
(located next to your executable) to point at the new locations.

 

Maybe it'll end up another few times faster ;-).

Subject: [Equest-users] equest 3.65 XP on Oracle VM

 

I am trying to run 3.65 on XP installed on an Oracle VM box. The host OS
is Windows 7 64 bit. 3.64 installed and runs fine but 3.65 gives an
error when I try to run it: "The application filed to initialize
properly".

 

Why don't I simply run 3.65 on the host machine you may ask? It's
because my Documents folder is on a server some distance away and 3.65
runs very slowly. In the tests with 3.64, running on the VM is about 10
times faster than on the host machine.
