Problems running Salome for Windows

Hello,

Try to install SALOME to the directory that does not contain spaces, e.g. C:\SALOME-7.2.0.

Regards,
Vadim.

Hi Vadim,

Thank you for your suggestion.  I followed your advice and installed SALOME into C:\SALOME-7.2.0, this eliminated the following error:

'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Unfortunately the following error message remains:

"Windows cannot find 'python.exe'.  Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again."

Regards,

Sean.

Hoping someone might be able to assist with this "Windows cannot find 'python.exe'" problem.

Hello Sean,

Probably an archive was not fully unpacked - there's known problem with Windows standard uncompress utility - it might fail on large archives.

First: you can check if python is indeed present in the installation directory - look into your C:\SALOME-7.2.0\PRODUCTS\python-2.7.3 directory - is it there?

Second: if it isn't present, try another unpack utility, for example 7-Zip which is known to work better on large archives.

Regards,
Vadim.

Hi Vadim,

Thank you, I will try your suggestion when I get home.  If I cannot get 7-zip to work , ( I think used 7-zip for the extraction but am not sure), is an alternative to install python directly into the directory you have mentioned?

Regards,

Sean.

Unfortunately, no.

SALOME requires Python of specific version; as Python is one of the main pre-requisites for SALOME, using of another version of Python (or even the same but installed by other means) might be fatal. You can surely try and tell if it's working

I have found python 2.6.6 and python 2.7.3 in C:\Salome\PRODUCTSD also.

Hello, mukut!

What platform is used? What version of Visual Studio do you have on your computer?

'The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect' message says that there is problem with the CRT (C Run-Time Libraries)

CRT in Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition end in Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x64)(ex. from PRODUCTSD\redist folder)  is built in release mode. So application works in release mode (binaries)

SALOME-7.2.0 have been build with Microsoft Visual Studio 2008.  Binaries and libraries of SALOME-7.2.0 depend of Visual Studio 2008 CRT(Run-Time ). If you're trying to run the application on your PC, then  then you should have the Run-Time installed.

For RELEASE Run-Time can be provided as a part of Visual Studio or as a part of Redistributable Package. But DEBUG Run-Time is provided only as a part of Visual Studio.

SALOME-7.2.0-WIN32 and  SALOME-7.2.0-WIN64 archives include binaries of the pre-requisites and SALOME modules built in RELEASE mode.  The minimum requirement is installing the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86 or x64). You can find it in the PRODUCTS\redist directory.

If you don't need to compile SALOME or third-party code, use this packages of SALOME.  As I can see, all necessary CTR Libraries are  already installed on your PC.

SALOME-7.2.0-WIN32-DEV-RELEASE,  SALOME-7.2.0-WIN32-DEV-DEBUG,  SALOME-7.2.0-WIN64-DEV-RELEASE, SALOME-7.2.0-WIN64-DEV-DEBUG archives include binaries of the pre-requisites and SALOME modules plus all files (headers, IDL files, adm files etc) required for the compilation of the third-party code. 

If you need to COMPILE some third-party code, use this packages of SALOME.  Building ONLY in 32-bit mode requires installation of Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition. The minimum requirement of building in 64-bit  mode is installing the Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition (x64).

So, if you want use SALOME-7.2.0-WIN64-DEV-DEBUG archive, then you must install Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition (x64).

P.S.  You should ещ кun C:\salome\WORK\prepare.bat (not replace.bat !!!!!!!)  to replace some hard-coded paths.

Anastasiya.

Hello anastasya!

Greetings. My OS is windows 8.1 (64bit)

I need to create geometry and then meshing with SALOME. Then I wanna export this mesh file to other simulation software, may be openFOAM or ANSYS. In this purpose, which package of SALOME should I use? I don't have visual studio 2008 professional version installed in my PC.

Inside the productSD folder there is a exe file: vcredist_x64.exe

!!!!!!!)  to replace some hard-coded paths.|

I have tried to run the prepare.bat file but following error appeared.

c:\Salome\WORK>prepare.bat
The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is in
correct. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail.

c:\Salome\WORK>

What should I do?

Hello, mukut!

For your purpose use SALOME-7.2.0-WIN32 and  SALOME-7.2.0-WIN64 or latest versions.

Anastasiya.

Hello Anastsya!

Packages for Windows:

• Download a binaries archive for 32bit Windows (429 MB, md5sum)
• Download a binaries archive for 64bit Windows (462 MB, md5sum)

These archives provide only minimal content required to run SALOME (no development files). They are intended for the users who don't need to compile SALOME or third-party code, but only want to run SALOME application. The archives include binaries of the pre-requisites and SALOME modules built in RELEASE mode.

• Download a development environment archive, RELEASE mode for 32bit Windows (874 MB, md5sum)
• Download a development environment archive, RELEASE mode for 64bit Windows (965 MB, md5sum)
• Download a development environment archive, DEBUG mode for 32bit Windows (1,3 GB, md5sum)
• Download a development environment archive, DEBUG mode for 64bit Windows (1,4 GB, md5sum)

These archives provide "development environment" of SALOME. They include binaries (built in RELEASE and DEBUG modes separately) of the pre-requisites and SALOME modules plus all files (headers, IDL files, adm files etc) required for the compilation of the third-party code (e.g. SALOME-based modules).

• Download a SALOME SDK archive for 32bit Windows (1,6 GB, md5sum)
• Download a SALOME SDK archive for 64bit Windows (1,7 GB, md5sum)

I have downloaded: development environment archive, DEBUG mode for 64bit Windows (1,4 GB, md5sum) version.

Did you talk about this: Download a development environment archive, RELEASE mode for 64bit Windows (965 MB, md5sum)??????

Hi Anastasya,

I'll try tonight (at home) to fix the problem as you described me (I've 64 bit Win7 OS)

When I double click run_salome it will launch the windows GUI of SAlome?

Hi,

I am trying to install Salome 7.6.4 on Windows 10 (64bit).

I had already installed Visual Studio C++ 2010 and I used 7zip to extract the files. 

Unfortunately, the program didn't launch. The error message is attached. 

Any hint how to solve the problem?
