+mty55 Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 I downloaded the Wherigo Builder to my new laptop today. Its running Vista 64 bit OS. I wanted to run a saved cartridge to check out a question I had on the emulator. Thats not going to happen on this laptop. Fortunately the builder loaded on my desktop running Vista 32bit and it runs fine. Anyone else run into this problem? Quote
matejcik Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 er, just about everyone who tried it (on a 64bit vista, that is)? maybe looking around the forums could help ... see for example this solution Quote
+mty55 Posted January 23, 2009 Author Posted January 23, 2009 er, just about everyone who tried it (on a 64bit vista, that is)? maybe looking around the forums could help ... see for example this solution For now I'll just use my desktop. But I will check out other threads to find a solution, after all I bought the laptop to be mobile. Thanks Quote
Ranger Fox Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 I guess another solution would be dual-booting. Or remote desktopping to another 32-bit computer in your house. Hardly ideal. I need to bug Groundspeak about a 64-bit version... Quote
+scavok Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 (edited) On my laptop on the main hard drive there are two Program Files folders. One of them is the regular "Program Files" and the other is "Program Files (x86)." By default most programs will install to the x86 folder. If there is software (like Wherigo builder) that can't run on the 64 bit, just make sure to specify during install to install it in to the regular program files folder. I did it that way and have no problems at all. I don't know if this is possible on all computers (this is my first 64-bit PC). But worth checking out Edited January 29, 2009 by scavok Quote

I did it that way and have no problems at all. I don't know if this is possible on all computers (this is my first 64-bit PC). But worth checking out actually, the problem is the builder running natively in 64bit on 64bit OS. Builder is written in .NET, and .NET is similar to java - it's not native machine code and its run in a virtual machine. So it runs in 32bit on 32bit OS and 64bit on 64bit OS. Problem is, the real emulator binary is an 32bit binary, and you can't simply call parts of 32bit binaries from 64bit application. The solution is, on the other side, quite simple. There's an easy way to set a 32bit flag in the Builder .EXE file and then it will run in 32bit environment, and so that it can call the 32bit emulator library. You need to get this utility: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms164699(VS.80).aspx i think it's a part of some MS .NET SDKs (Visual Studio?) I think this is the link: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...;displaylang=en and use the parameter /32bit+, for example ""corflags /32BIT+ MyApp.exe" where MyApp.exe is the Builder binary. After you do this, everything will work fine. and of course, the Wherigo people should be told about the issue, because they can very simply set this flag during the build process.

Sure enough, it does work. This is definitely a must-know for anyone running a 64-bit Windows OS. I'll pin it to the top of the forum. By the way, I created a batch file and ran it from the command line: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft.NET\SDK\v2.0 64bit\Bin\CorFlags.exe" /32BIT+ "C:\Program Files (x86)\Groundspeak\Wherigo\Builder\WherigoBuilder.exe" Edit: I forgot to say thank you, certik.

Ranger Fox Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 I looked on another cacher's computer and saw most of the problem you described. I couldn't resolve it over the phone due to his lack of time. Let me try to arrange a time I can visit him at his house and solve the problem, then I'll get back with you with step-by-step instructions. The problem, as I understood it over the phone, involves the .Net SDK (software development kit). The file you need for this solution isn't included in a normal .Net download; that's part of the problem he was having. Quote

Well it looks like this only worked for a couple of months. The Emulator portion is not working anymore. To be more specific, it lets me emulate a file I have the native LUA for, but not a GWC file (and since this is needed for a local Wherigo, this is a problem). Anyone smart enough to help me out?

Ranger Fox Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 The patches and workarounds will work on a 64-bit system (this is how I'm able to run Groundspeak's Builder on my machine with 16GB RAM). However, this does not address the TerraServer issue. Quote
+twin_57103 Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 Thanks for the fix! I am running Windows 7 64-bit and had the same error. It would be nice to see Groundspeak update since this software doesn't work on a large portions of the computer market, or at least put a disclaimer on it (yes, I realize they state it runs Win 2K and XP, without specifying newer OS's, but I'd like to see it explicitly rather than fumbling through errors).

Ranger Fox Posted April 24, 2012 Posted April 24, 2012 I've heard that happen with some later versions of the framework. See what happens when you replace your builder file altogether with the one uploaded in post #7. I've heard of some people having good luck with that. Quote
+Sievebrain Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 Sorry to add to this thread, but is my problem below a 64 bit problem or a user error (very likely!) I have created lots of zones using your kit program (thanks for that a great utility) I wanted to check the zone ares on a map to make sure they are big enough in the right size etc. When I click Zones edit, I get a list bottom left of 4 zone points. I wanted to check them. I tried create from map and got the 1st 2 below boxes, and then it opens a blank map. I tried view shape, seem to show an oblong somewhere and edit on line brings up the final two screen shots (first the error one, and then I click No and get the background shot shown last. Am I just asking the wrong thing, or is something wrong please Ranger Fox, can you help again?! Quote
Ranger Fox Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 The first two error messages are because TerraServer modified their service and Groundspeak never updated their builder to take advantage of that. The last two screen shots are funny. An API key wasn't included in the emulator (the cause for its maps going crazy), yet the web page here has an API key. Huh. Anyway, I'll see what I can do. Since I doubt I can make something with Greasemonkey (the only way I can possibly inject a fix into this mess), it'll be up to Groundspeak to fix this. Fortunately, I have a meeting with them next week. Quote
+redsox_mark Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 I've recently moved to Windows 7. I applied A_Snail's fix in post 7, and the editor itself works. But the Emulator does not.

Ranger Fox Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Please don't be rough as you drag me around. I may be a willing participant, but please handle with care. (Now that I think about it, it would be fun to come out with an Easter egg version of the maps. Perhaps if you're testing a cartridge too late at night, I could turn into a pumpkin. Or if it's close to Halloween, you could be dragging around a zombie--or a zombie could randomly spawn on your map and try to eat me! Why, yes, I do have a silly side!) Quote

If I click YES it opens a small window to fill in an address. Once I fill in the address and click OK, I get the message, “Error looking up address: The remote name could not be resolved: ‘api.local.yahoo.com’“ When I click OK it closes the game. I’ve tried many different addresses. All fail. I haven’t found any other Play Anywhere cartridges to see if they give the same problem. Can someone help resolve this? I ran into exactly that a few days ago with some in Georgia. I loaded the cartridges to my GPSr and they ran perfectly from wherever I happened to be. I had some Pennsylvania Play anywhere cartridges that I was able to run in the emulator before GeoWoodstock earlier this year like http://coord.info/GC5J33V. You could use that one or the others in the area as a comparison. Quote
