HOW DO I GET RID OF THIS FORMAT GARBAGE??? USED CUT-AND-PASTE


Could someone please explain what may possibly be
wrong with my installation of MDK 9.1 in Windows Vista, and hopefully how to
fix it. I plan to send Email to the usual channels, but
the sales rep is not there until tomorrow.

After the third installation (details below) I
tried executing the EqCustUI.exe and nothing happens except the message window below.

Equis User Interface Customization Utility v1.01

Copyright © 2000, 2001, All Rights Reserved

EqCustUI.exe: No Commands processed. Use /h for help.

Neither /h or PF1 do anything while the window is
open. You click OK and the window goes away, but no application interface
appears, so help is useless. Subsequent investigation from Windows Task Manager shows no Equis/Metastock/EqCustUI processes are executing.

Now I note that this beast has uninstalled my original Metastock 10.1 application!! Metastock Developers Kit is there. So now I can’t use Metastock, period. Brilliant!

I am using
Windows Vista (64-bit), but I am running EqCustUI.exe in 32-bit compatibility mode for Windows XP (SP 2). Previously both Metastock 10.1 and its
Downloader operated fine over the past year. From Windows properties of
the entire Equis directory, my userid has complete control of all
files. Vista’s User Account Control is turned off. Running as Administrator does not make any difference.

From the manual, I
verified all the installed files were present in the usual C:/PF(x86)/Equis
directory. There are MSXTest.exe in Equis/MSX and EqCustUI.exe in Equis/UI/.

What is wrong here? How do I fix it, or is this ancient beast incompatible with Vista?

Thanks Wabbit, I went to the CL and got the help window. I don't know how I missed that detail that the API was not a GUI. I was expecting my Windows console to light up with the MDK GUI with all its bells and whistles (like Metastock).

As for MDK uninstalling Metastock, I am absolutely sure I did not touch MS, and I rebooted after each install/uninstall. However, I do recall that on the 3rd install the MDK Install Wizard mentioned some old software was present, and did I want to uninstall it? This is when it was in the correct 32-bit directory, along with Metastock. Thinking it was left over from the previous installs, I said yes. It probably happened then. I hope it did not think MS 10.1 was foreign SW. Currently, the C:/Program Files (x86)/Equis/ directory does have the following folders: Metastock, MSFL, MSX, UI, and The Downloader.

Oh well, I shall reinstall regular MS 10.1 and re-read the Manual a bit more carefully.

BTW, the MS Visual C++ 2008 does have Win32 Project Types. All I have to do is to figure out where the MSX DLL AppWizard is. (Manual page 46, "Highlight Metastock MSX DLL AppWizard"

Thanks again for your help!
