Also as a crazy idea just try using poide.exe

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 -

Hi Pablo,

Try to check your operating system with sfc /scannow.

Your 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.

Strange thing is that I still get the same failure after typing:

poide<CR>
Unable to start POIDE.EXE (error code 2)

But if I explicitly type: C:\PellesC\Bin\poide<CR> it runs just fine.

At the cmd prompt type set <ret> to verify the PATH variable is actually set correctly and not overridden by something else.
Or
Use echo %PATH% to just see it.

This computer has never had Pelles C installed on it before.
I uninstalled it and then reinstalled it to C:\PellesC
I now run a batch file with the following contents after running cmd.exe:

@echo off
set PellesCDir=C:\PellesC
rem
set PATH=%PellesCDir%\Bin;%PATH%;C:\bin;D:\Pelles\bin
set INCLUDE=%PellesCDir%\Include;%PellesCDir%\Include\Win;%INCLUDE%
set LIB=%PellesCDir%\Lib;%PellesCDir%\Lib\Win64;%LIB%

Hi Pelle,

Thanks for the new release of Poasm fixing the issue.
