Title: Can't find tool
Post by: XDelusion on October 11, 2011, 03:56:51 AM
How come some icons (like the latest AHI) can never find the tool they are associated with even if it's right where it should be?

80 views and no reply?

1.Perhaps some standard paths/assigns are missing?
2.Maybe the associated tool can't be read as a tool, ie it has faulty bits set or perhaps actually are project-files instead of .exe/tools?
3.Could be they aren't located where they should be?

Hard to tell without having the problem in front of me :p
Try running DOS-Trace and see what happens when the WB tries to open them.

Yeah, I think you're on the right track with that answer.  I have used snoopdos more than a few times to figure out what libs/tools are missing.  I remember vividly getting my IRC client to work and I had to use snoopdos to figure out what was missing.
