Got the same problem (with latest beta version) after reinstalling my notebook (again with Win XP SP3). It was previously working on it without problem. Perhaps something is missing in the newer installation files? On freshly installed Nettop (AMD Fusion E-350 Zacate) with Win 7, it works fine, just tested it. I think, the error occurs only with fresh installed WinXP, where no previous version of zxbc was on it. The problem occurs with both msi and zip files, and they were both saved from previously tested and working files. Will check it again later, but I want to dump the old notebook anyway (just waiting for a zacate 11-12" netbook with mate display).

This might be also produces because the PATH environment variable was not updated and the .exe file was not found. Try executing zxb.exe from within ZX BASIC directory to discard this.

I'm starting to worry about this. Will try a fresh XP installation in a virtual machine to test this issue...

Will try this later after the work (change directory in command line to ZXBC directory and start the zxb.exe). But this problem will still cause that the BorIDE will not start ZXBC. I hope, there will not be extra overtime today at work. And it does not explain why it works on other fresh system with Windows 7.
By the way, before I buy a new netbook for zxbc, will it work on Win 7 x64? Currently thinking about upgrading it straight to 8 GB memory.

I'm working and testing under Win7 x64 at home, so yess ;-)

Update: Issue confirmed! I've reproduced it within a virtual machine. :?: :?: :?

FIX: After googling a little for this issue, I finally found the *fix* for this issue:

Download and install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Runtime and this problem will be gone. The python.dll included needs this .DLL. This .DLL does not come included with Windows XP (but does with Windows Vista and Windows 7). Idea

Also, *PLEASE*, check in the link above you have selected the appropiate language for your OS (Spanish, English, etc).

Thanks, I will install it on my notebook today after work, and include this tip in BorIDE.

Just did it. Works now, thank you.
