Stata 16

[wesleyhon]

Hi, I would appreciate it if this editor supports Stata 16 version. Looking forward to the update. Many thanks!

I don't have access to Stata 16 at the moment, but if/when I do, I'll try to add it. Have you tried whether it works right now?

Thanks for your reply! I checked again just now, and still failed to execute do-files under the environment of Stata 16.

Ok, what happens if you open the console and write

import win32com.client
win32com.client.Dispatch ("stata.StataOLEApp")

Hi, perhaps wesleyhon have a particular issue, but I got Stata Editor working with Stata 16 in 2 computers (both with Windows 10)

[wesleyhon]

I've figured this out. My Stata Editor runs well now! Thank you guys!

What wound up being the solution, @wesleyhon ? I have a similar challenge to yours. (Or @nicolas-suarez - can you contribute your solution?)

My console error trace is as follows, @mattiasnordin :

Just guessing: was the solution to follow the Windows-Vista instructions despite being on Windows 10?

To register the Stata Automation type library on Windows Vista, do the following steps: In the installation directory, right-click on the Stata executable, for example, StataSE.exe. Choose "Create Shortcut". Right-click on the newly created "Shortcut to StataSE.exe", choose "Property", and change the Target from "C:\Program Files\Stata13\StataSE.exe" to "C:\Program Files\Stata13\StataSE.exe" /Register. Click "OK". Right-click on the updated "Shortcut to StataSE.exe"; choose "Run as administrator".
