Hey guys

I'm having some issues installing fds. I am using an asus tuf gaming, with an AMD ryzen7 and nividia GEFORCE GTx. For a course in my study i have to use fds and cfast. the last time I installed everything worked. I downloaded the latest version and installed them as admin, I controlled the installation and got no erros. the programs installed correctly at first sign. The only thing missing is my command shell for fds. (cmdfds) hope someone can help me. Its urgend stay safe and best regards Johanna

Can you click "Start >> Run" and find cmdfds?

studenttubs commented 3 years ago

Can you click "Start >> Run" and find cmdfds? thanks for your answer :) tried, but it wasn't found.

Please give a few screen shots of your installation process. We are really stabbing in the dark here.

Does this computer come with Windows installed, or did you install it?

Looks like you are trying 6.7.1. Does 6.7.5 work?

studenttubs commented 3 years ago

no, i tried both. Just in case

gforney commented 3 years ago

first try as randy suggested to install the latest version of fds. a few other things to try

  1. in a command shell type: cmd /k fdsinit

that is all that CMDfds is doing.

  1. on your desktop try right clicking with the mouse and select the Refresh menu item. does CMDfds show up
  2. from your home directory ( %userprofile%) cd Desktop and type: dir CMDfds.lnk do you see anything
gforney commented 3 years ago

also type where fds where smokeview

do you see anything

studenttubs commented 3 years ago

cmd /k fdsinit so if I use this I can run fds files? Screenshot (12) Screenshot (13) Screenshot (14) so the dirCMDfds.lnk said there was nothing found

gforney commented 3 years ago

yes since fds, smokeview and fdsinit.bat are in your path you can run fds after first typing cmd /k fdsinit in a command shell

let's make sure you have a home directory. in your home directory, c:\Users\Johan, type: dir Desktop

gforney commented 3 years ago

ok, thanks. I'll put in some error checking in the bundle script to see what happened to the file. were you able to run fds using the work around I suggested?

studenttubs commented 3 years ago

Screenshot (18) yea it did run successfully. I hope I will fix the problem, but at least I can do my academic achievments now. Thanks a lot, you really helped me :)

looks like you are using tthe "power shell" not the command shell . to make sure you are using the command shell click on the start menu and type com . you should see "command prompt App" come up. select this app then cd into directory where you put the fds installer and try again
