[Equest-users] Windows 10 SIM File

Wed Apr 5 08:27:52 PDT 2017

Running into newer, bigger issues

Still having issues with 3.65 build 7163 generating an SV-A report on a Windows 10 machine. Regular or Windows 7 compatibility mode.

Now, new, sporadic but reoccurring issue when installing 3.65 build 7173. First time starting eQuest  getting this error:

This leaves me in a hard spot. I’m either repeatedly reinstalling eQuest, alternative between b7163 and b7173, just to find the one that works that day…or working via an RDC connection on a different machine; which is a crummy and unsustainable solution.

Any ideas are welcome, because this is drastically impacting workflow.

I still haven’t run into this one myself (or at least not in recent memory), but I last time this popped up on the lists somebody found manually copying/saving the project into a new directory and opening from there fixed the issue of “blank/incomplete” SIM reports, independent of reboots and reinstallations...  Worth a shot?

I have encountered an odd issue involving Windows 10 / Surface Pro 3 and the actual eQUEST interface missing labels for the input dialogs … but I haven’t seen any similar reports from others just yet.

All;
eQuest 3.65 build7163.

Appear to be having issues with Windows 10 and SIM file generation. This is both the in D2Sim Viewer and the SIM file in a text editor.  Have tested running with ‘normal’ and in compatibility mode for Windows 7, and Windows Vista SP2. No luck.

Is a hit & miss issue as I was fine, and then this started happening. And now won’t stop.

College has had success getting this resolved with 3.65 build 7173 – but due to previous issues (also sent out on list-serve) about the SIM files becoming unformatted junk, I have been hesitant to ‘upgrade’.

Also, oddly, the SIM file has become all bold text as well….but I can get past that.

Any Ideas?

Thanks,
