Most of the Executables for the Windows binaries won't run for me on Windows XP or Windows 7 starter. I was told that Elmerfront is no longer supported (even though the shortcut stills appears on the install). I need ElmerSolver but that isn't functioning either.
The only runnable executables I have in the bin directory are ElmerGUI, ElmerGUIlogger, ElmerPost, ElmerClips, and tclsh84.
Is there a fix or should I just try and compile Elmer on Windows myself?

Re: Executables not functioning for Windows
Hi
The current installer based on rev. 6064 should work. It is available at sf.net (and at nic.funet.fi). I know that there was some dysfunctional version for a short time on nic.funet.fi. Perhaps you were unfortunate enough to catch that one. The fact that ElmerFront shortcut still appears is unintentional. Sorry for the trouble.

Re: Executables not functioning for Windows
Thanks, but I used Elmer v7.6064 from sourceforge.net. I dowloaded it on February 16. I it think may be because I tried loading it on windows XP and Windows 7 starter. If there is no fix I will just try and compile it myself.

Well, I think it should be there. However, it is a CLI tool that has no icon associated to it. It should sit in the same directory though.-Peter
