No Server Created!

Post by eschnell »

I just downloaded PCHelpWare Rel1.0. I have read all of the configuration stuff and I tried to create a test server using the PcHelpWare_viewer.exe file and I will save the .phw file with all of the settings, and click on Create Server. No new folders or files are created within the myservers folder. There is a myservers filder created in C:\ with a subfolder with the name of the .phw file but no server executable. Any help would be great! Thanks!

Interesting problem, Can you advise:
1. the complete path of the folder of your PHW in your computer.
2. copy & show us the content of Create.bat (located at the folder "create_server"), -- it should be same for every PHW, but want to checked if it is amended.

May be then we can trace why this happened.

The directory is C:\Documents and Settings\*****\Desktop\PcHelpWare\

Code: Select all

@ECHO OFF
mkdir server

copy 7z.exe server\7z.exe
copy config.txt server\config.txt

Looks like no visible problem. I suggest you to trace the operation of the batch file, procedure as follow:
1. Delete the folder "server", which s/b locate at C:\Documents and Settings\*****\Desktop\PcHelpWare\ create_server\

2. Modify the batch file as shown below:
- change the first statement from "@ECHO OFF" to "ECHO ON"
- At every statement of "mkdir ....", or "cd ....", add a new line with a statement of "pause", like this

Code: Select all

mkdir server
pause
Now run the PHW & create a server as past, but the batch file will stop at every "pause" statement. During this pause you can check if there are any error message. You can also check if the folder is created at the expected location with windows explorer.

I got it working now. I use the command prompt all the time so I have it default to C:\ instead of the folder it is working in, causing those files to be written in C:\. I have added a CD command into the correct directory and now it is working.

A free product with great support. You can't really beat that!

Hey guys im having the same issue. I have turned echo on and paused after each statement. It appears one of the main issues is the PcHelpWare.sfx is missing. I have included the output below.
