Hello again, Folks.

** This is my second attempt to post this. The first post seems to have disappeared. **

I decided to move my thinBasic environment from the original older computer onto a newer one. (Both windows XP)

I copied all the folders across, then installed thinBasic into the “00 thinBasic” folder on my D: drive.

On the original computer, thinBasic was installed in the “00 thinBasic” folder on the C: drive.

The problem I'm having is, that although thinAir can find and edit programs, it fails to run them via the green button. (See attachment) The DOS popup says that the folder where the source code resides cannot be found, yet that very path is showing at the top of the thinAir window.

Is there some environment variable I need to change or something?

I hope someone can help.

Thanks in advance,

Peter H. (Gungadout)

Delete the 2 config files of thinair in its folder. Then start thinair agin.

My guess is that it still points to the old path, you can check the options too.

I agree with Mike its the options setting that are stopping it working.

Goto the window menu and select Options and check each tabs settings

I would suspect its the compilers tab, look at THINBASIC Root Folder and change the drive letter.
The Help tab is about the only other setting on mine thats got dedicated paths.

Hi Folks,

Thank you Michael and Michael.

I guess the two .ini files are the config files, but I did not touch them directly.

Changing path names in the in the options settings solved the problem.
