Windows 7 and SC4 Terraformer

[kingdiz_55 12]

Well, I've recently made the "big move" to Windows 7. Now, I'm having a problem with SC4 Terraformer. I cant seem to get it running. Whenever I open it, it tells me "Some errors have occured" and tells me to check the log. This is what the log contained:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "SC4Terraformer.py", line 4, in ?

  File "zipextimporter.pyo", line 78, in load_module

  File "SC4TerraformerApp.pyo", line 3, in ?

  File "zipextimporter.pyo", line 91, in load_module

ImportError: MemoryLoadLibrary failed loading tools3D.pyd

I've already tried it in compatibility mode for XP but still can't get it to run. Could anyone help?

Search for "Terraformer Windows 7" in the Google Custom Search (entire site), i found a thread with a solution to the problem (i can't remeber exactly what it was), it is something with the DirectX.

It was the directx runtime. you need to download the DirectX9 Runtime. After installing that it should work.

Thanks for the help guys but I still can't get it to work. I've already got the DX thing installed

Theres also the Visual basic runtime and a few other things that are needed to get it to work. Look in the Terraformer readme for a links to everything you will need.

I found that if you have to obtain msvcp71.dll (or msvcr71.dll) from another source, it has to be put into the same folder as SC4T on a Windows 7 system. I tried putting it in c:\windows32\system as the README suggests, but SC4T would not run. I also tried to get Windows to register msvcp71.dll, but it resulted in a message saying something about the library failing to load. When I was looking for some other information, I noticed msvcr71.dll in the SC4T folder, so a light bulb went on and I moved msvcp71.dll over to the same folder, and was finally able to run SC4T.

I have the very same problem - plus that Cleanitol won't start either.

There is more than one topic in the Mapping Community Board Room forum that has quidelines to get the Terraformer running in Windows 7. Check it out.

I've been struggling with this all day and this was the trick that did it. THANKS!

You need Python language. Google for it. It is free.

Terraformer works on my Windows 7 and I do have Python.

Great, I was saving up for a laptop with Windows 7!

If you look, you will find the Python run-time. Not all windows versions are equal.
