I am able to run the examples in the examples directory from the
Corman Lisp IDE without any trouble, but when I try to create EXE
files using those same examples they don't work. Specifically, I am
able to generate an EXE file, but when I double click on that EXE file
it seems to do nothing. As an example of the code I am typing into the
IDE:
---Code Begins---
(load "examples/gui/hello.lisp")
5
(save-application "hello" #'win::hello :static t)
;; Creating application hello.exe
"hello.exe"
---Code Ends---
I am not getting any error messages as you can see but the EXE files
don't seem to do anything. I am using an unregistered copy of Corman
Lisp 2.5. I have installed the patches (and recompiled the img file).
I am running Windows XP SP1. If there is any further information that
you need to debug this problem please ask for it. Any help you can
provide would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Funny. I have a system with that exact configuration and it works for me.
Just for the record have you tried restarting corman with a clean image?

I am not exactly sure what you mean by "restarting corman with a clean
image", but I think I have probably done it anyway. Specifically:
I have uninstalled and reinstalled corman lisp a couple of times now.
Each time I try to create an EXE I close all instances of Corman Lisp,
then I open up one instance of Corman Lisp, I run the load command and
the save-application command and that is all.
Also, btw, I just installed Corman Lisp on another machine (also a
WinXP SP1 machine) and it works properly, including creating EXE files
correctly. When I create EXE files on this second machine I can run
those EXEs on the second machine as well as the first machine (the
machine that won't let me create EXE files correctly). I have also
tried manually going through the Windows Registry and removing all
references to Corman (after I have uninstalled Corman Lisp but before
reinstalling it), this also hasn't helped.

I have tried running my EXE files in the same directory as msvcr70.dll
is installed and they still don't work. Also, I have now installed
Corman Lisp on a second WinXP SP1 machine and this machine creates
EXEs correctly. These new EXEs run on the second machine as well as
the first machine (which still doesn't let me make working EXEs).
I have set up Corman Lisp on a second WinXP SP1 machine which now lets
me create working EXE files. These new EXEs run on both the second
machine (which I made the EXEs with) and the first machine (which
still won't let me create working EXEs). The problem is that this
second machine is not mine (it's a family members) so I would still
really like to be able to create working EXEs on my own machine.
Anyone have any ideas?

I still can't get code to compile to an EXE correctly via the Corman
Lisp IDE, but I have found a to get around this. Instead of using the
IDE, use clconsole with the same commands that you would have used in
the IDE. For example, run console.exe (located in the "Corman Lisp
2.5" directory) and then type:
(load "examples/gui/shapes.lisp")
(save-application "examples/gui/shapes.exe" #'win::shapes :static t)
After each of the two commands press the Enter key and wait for
clconsole to respond.
I am posting this to help anyone else that might be experiencing the
same problem.

Have you tried the corman news group?

I don't think I get that here, what's it's name?

I think John is talking about the Corman Lisp Discussion Groups at
http://www.artofprogramming.com/bb/index.php

If you are talking about the Corman Lisp Discussion Groups
(http://www.artofprogramming.com/bb/index.php), then yes, I have
posted there. You can see my post at
http://www.artofprogramming.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=40 though no one
has been able to help me so far. Thanks for the reply though :)
