Just installed Pelles C and unable to run poide

[MrBcx]

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.

Try using poide.exe, not poide, as in same folder is poide.com

Hi Pablo,

Try to check your operating system with sfc /scannow.

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 -
