N.A.N.Y. 2014 / Re: NANY 2014 Release - epCheck

Maybe it's not the downloading... it's the copying of the information?

-wraith808 (January 02, 2014, 12:03 PM)

Right...the FileSystemObject stuff is used to extract the zip contents and copy it to epCheck's data directory.  The downloading of the zip file is handled in a separate function.  With all this trouble using the Windows native stuff, I wonder if I ought to use, say, 7-Zip's commandline executable to handle the unpacking of the zip files?

Working well on my XP machines...both of them.

Strangely none of those listed in the linked thread made a difference. Same error.

-rgdot (January 01, 2014, 01:32 PM)

Yeah, strange, but thanks for trying.  For the record, I have tested epCheck successfully in an XP/32 VM.

It could be that the scripting host isn't registered on your XP machine.  According to this post on the AHK forums, you can try this from a command prompt:

regsvr32.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\msscript.ocx

If that doesn't work, there are a few other files in that post you can try registering.

I just tried this and think it's really well done.  I love the smooth graphics and explosions.  I also like the fact that there's an extra challenge because the explosions can hide an oncoming asteroid fragment.  Really nicely done, Deo.
