Wrye Bash Launcher Shenanigans

[bbarr97]

Howdy,

 

I am having trouble getting Wrye Bash to start using the Wrye Bash Launcher.pyw file in the Mopy directory. Some quick specs:

 

Windows 7 64 bit (Home Premium)

6gb ram

Got Wrye Python v02 installed

Got Wrye Bash 290 installed

 

I am able to get Wrye Bash started but the only way I can do it is by typing

 

c:\python26\python.exe bash.py in the c:\games\oblivion\mopy directory. (The d command doesn't help because there is no log file because it doesn't crash)

 

Unfortunately, this leaves the CMD window open which is somewhat annoying.

 

Any idea why I cannot use the Wrye Bash Launcher.pyw file? I have already tried modifying the bash_default.ini file with the actual directory to no avail.

 

Appreciate the help,

bbarr97

Perhaps your windows has not associated the .pyw file extenstion with c:\python26\pythonw.exe? (The "w" in pythonw.exe is important.) Goto the Mopy directory and right click on Wrye Bash Launcher.pyw file. Does it list pythonw.exe as one of the programs to execute it with? If it does not, browse to the pythonw.exe program and select the checkbox "use this as default".

That helped narrow down the problem some.

 

I checked the file association and it was set to pythonw.exe in the properties for the file. To experiment I changed it to python.exe and it started up but the CMD window was still up. I closed it down and then tried starting it again with no luck. I changed the association back to pythonw.exe and it will not start that way either now. So I got it to start once by changing the association but after that no dice.

 

If I go to the CMD prompt and type c:\python26\pythonw.exe bash.py it will start with no CMD window left open which is nice. Still, a pain in the but to do that each time.

 

Any ideas?

Create a shortcut/launcher for it. Have it execute the launcher.pyw (or "pythonw.exe bash.py" if that's what it takes) and make sure that it runs in the Mopy directory. There are icon images you can use in the Mopy\images directory. That's what I did.

Absolutely bizarre,

 

By using pythonw.exe to run it I will get the following error when I try to install a mod on the Installers tab

WindowsError: [Error 6] The handle is invalid

 

If I use python.exe it works fine except for the darn command window staying open.

 

At least I can run it but there is some oddity going on and I have this obsessive need to solve iit.

Have you set pythonw.exe to "Run as Administrator"?

[bbarr97]

I have that set and have tried several different versions of windows to run it on on compatibility.

When I run the launcher using cmd, it says already started and won't open up............. I checked task manager but nothing in there is related to python.

Delete pidfile.tmp from your Oblivion\Mopy folder.
