Why can't I open the exe file in Windows10? #51

Closed Andrewyyc closed 2 years ago

Andrewyyc commented 2 years ago

I downloaded flightsim in github release, and found that flightsim.exe is not available.

Hi @Andrewyyc,

I just had a look, and https://github.com/alphasoc/flightsim/releases/download/v2.2.1/flightsim_2.2.1_windows_amd64.tar.gz, when untar'd contains flightsim.exe.

Is this the file you downloaded?

Andrewyyc commented 2 years ago

Yes, exactly.

kmroz commented 2 years ago

OK, so to make sure I understand the problem correctly, after untarring, flightsim.exe is present, but you're unable to execute it on Windows 10. Correct?

Andrewyyc commented 2 years ago

Correct. My computer does not seem to respond to it. The same problem also occurred in the previous version ( 2.2.0 ), so it might be a problem of my own computer. Do I need to download/install any other things in my system in order to execute it?

kmroz commented 2 years ago

@Andrewyyc - I don't have a Windows 10 box in front of me at the moment to verify, but I'll get back to you later on today.

Andrewyyc commented 2 years ago

I gratefully appreciate for your help. ^_^

@Andrewyyc - managed to test on a latest windows server instance, and a colleague of mine on windows 10. Is it a "Failed DNS probe" error that you were seeing?

Andrewyyc commented 2 years ago

I didn't see any notice of "Failed DNS probe". I clicked on "flightsim.exe" and then nothing happened.

kmroz commented 2 years ago

@Andrewyyc: flightsim is a console application. Once you untar the executable, you can run it from a command prompt/powershell. From the powershell, execute it as: .\flightsim.exe -h That will display a help message with further instructions on how to run some sample workloads. Do have a look at the packaged README also.

For the interim, I've created a test-release on my fork for you to try. Grab https://github.com/mrozitron/flightsim/releases/tag/test-win-fix and give it a run as mentioned above. This test release will get you around the DNS probe issue we uncovered yesterday. See if it works for you. Once we push out a fix we'll publish 2.2.2 and I'll give you a heads up here so that you can grab the official release.

Have fun, mrozitron
