Windows 7 x64 issue

Stephen Mensing
$organization

Running Tessitura for the first time on a new laptop that has Windows 7 64 bit, I get an error "the specified ini file 'c:\windows\system32\tessie.ini' not found!"

I've copied the pbvm to the c:\

created a impresario client folder in the program files directory

added the c:\pbvm to the enviromental variables

copied the tessie.ini to the system32 folder

then copied the shortcut to the desktop where I ran it.

Is there something I'm missing? Is anyone else getting this or has fixed this?

    Solution: putting the tessie.ini into the C:\Windows\SysWOW64 directory fixed it.

    I got Tess working on a Windows 7 64 bits computer by copying the INI to the C:\Windows\SysWOW64 folder, but having the shortcut still referring to C:\Windows\system32. I don’t know why but it was the only way I got it working.

    I ended up putting the ini files the root of the C: Drive. Then in the shortcut you have to change the target path. If not it continues to try to go to the system32 folder.

    Hi,

    Yes C:\Windows\SysWOW64 location is the solution.

    Better yet just completely customise the install and you'll save a lot of pain with UAC in Windows 7 and also not have x86 and x64 issues.

    My Tessitura installations are now setup as follows:

    C:\tessitura\<instancename>

         Tessitura.ini goes here

    C:\tessitura\<instancename>\impresario client\

        Client files for instance.


    In the Tessitura startup folder:

    • modify the Tessitura_Master.ini to ensure the [reports] section has the new path to the client
    • modify the tessitura_start.bat to ensure is has the new path in all strings.
    • modify the properties of the Tessitura shortcut to ensure the Target string has the new path.
    • modify the properties of the Tessitura Security shortcut to ensure the Target string has the new path.

    There is probably no reason you couldn't put the PBVM folder in the Tessitura folder. You'd need to update you Windows PATH variable and tessitura_start.bat

     

    Cheers
