Hi Robert,

No, this is unrelated to Pablo's resolved issue.

These two dll's are not needed for Pelles C. They are add-in programs, so the fact that they have been blocked just removes the Add-in.  No Pelles C functions are affected.

It is interesting that they were blocked though as I've done a new install without issue.  Perhaps you've set security higher. There is a setting as I recall for unsigned program blockage or something like that perhaps unknown ... Could be Internet properties or windows, I'll see if I can find it.


For most open source or free programs like Pelles C, it is costly to provide signing.  Meanwhile Pelles C will be fine.

Update: Under Windows Security,  App & Browser control, it is probably Smart App Control.

I just did a fresh install of 14.5 on a fresh install of Windows 11 25H2 to Pelles default install folder.

When I started the IDE, notifications from Windows Security popped up. Please see attached images for details.

The IDE opened, as usual, with the Build Libraries prompt.

Perhaps this is related to the problem PabloMack is having.

When I type echo %ROOT% I get:
%ROOT%

It did run when typing the whole thing "poide.exe".

Quote from: John Z on July 21, 2026, 02:48:26 AMAlso as a crazy idea just try using poide.exe 

John Z

Also if you cd to PellesC bin directory and type poide does it run?

If you do this it will run.  I can duplicate what you are seeing.  Just use poide.exe and it will run after you execute one of the povars batch file.

I got the same 'error' when just using poide outside of the bin directory.

Another option is to just rename poide.com to no_poide.com - then using poide at the top level of C drive also works.  Two options -

Quote from: MrBcx on July 21, 2026, 01:24:57 AMYour batch file is modified from PoVars64.bat which is found in your PellesC\bin\ folder
When you scrape off all the obvious non-Pelles path folders, your batch file leaves you with this:
PATH=C:\PellesC\Bin;C:\bin;D:\Pelles\bin
I suggest running PoVars64.bat instead of your batch file and then try running your experiment.

I did as you suggested and I get the same result.


Bummer -- I'm out of ideas at the moment.  Hopefully someone can help unravel this.
