Reaper claims it can't find the executables on windows

[tinpark]

Hi James, try as I might to get these wonderful reascripts to work on Windows, I can't seem to make them play nice. I've put the fluid windows CLIs in ~\AppData but when I tell reaper to run a script and find the executables in that folder, it claims there aren't any executables there; "The Path you set doesn't seem to contain the FluCoMa tools.". I'll be glad to help troubleshoot this with you if you don't have a windows envrionment to play with. Apologies if I've missed an obvious step. I wondered it the scripts are looking for nix-like paths and not windows-like paths... Thanks in advance of any troubleshooting. Works like a charm on OSX.

Ah, I too am a windows user every once in a while so I have an install I can test on. I was certain I caught all the caveats here but evidently - no. Let me have a dig and see if I can recreate the issue and push a fix up ASAP. Can you just remind me what version you are using for both ReaCoMa and FluComa? The latter shouldn't effect much, but the former likely will.

Okay so I did a fresh REAPER install, I then downloaded the binaries like so:

And then ran the script with this input for my path:

Which worked for me.

I think the next thing to try is to expand the ~ manually so for me:

~/AppData becomes C:/Users/james/AppData which worked for me.

If you expand it manually and it works then I know where to go looking. If it doesn't work still then it's likely I am fucking up the path formation on windows with spaces or slashes or something in that ballpark. By any chance do you have any european characters or spaces in your username, or perhaps a non-standard drive letter? What I would try and detect here is how the ~ is translated under the hood.

Awesome, James, thanks a lot. Works for me now. It’s the windows path \ thing, I think. If you use ~/AppData, as you’ve shown, works fine, if you use windows path names

C:\Users\mparker\AppData it doesn’t like it.

Brilliant and thanks for doing this work… really helpful. Much appreciated. Martin~

Argh!! I could have caught that one and will make a fix now so other backslashers don't get stuck at the same point too. Thanks for making a bug report and letting me know about the issue. Enjoy :+1:
