   Before running datshine, please enter: C:LDRAW\set LDRAWDIR=C:LDRAW in the same command window. If this fix works, you may edit C:autoexec.bat by adding the line set LDRAWDIR=C:LDRAW and reboot. Then you won’t need to enter this environment string anymore.

Actually, autoexec.bat only works in DOS/Windows9x/WindowsME. In NT/Win2K/XP/Vista, you set environment variables via the System Control Panel. In XP, the following will work (and may work in NT/Win2K/Vista):
  • Bring up the System Control Panel (holding down the Windows/Start key and then hitting Pause/Break is a shortcut to this.)
  • Go to the Advanced tab.
  • Click on the Environment Variables button.
  • Click on either New button (top one for just your user, or the bottom one for all users).
  • Enter LDRAWDIR as the variable name.
  • Enter the path to LDraw as the variable value.
  • Hit OK.
  • Hit OK again.
  • Hit OK again.

(...) Hi Matt, I'm glad you find my project interesting. It's been down due to an assumed HD crash (that fortunately turned out to be no more than just a loose cable!) but after the Holidays, I'll pick it up again. Before running datshine, please (...) (17 years ago, 23-Dec-07, to lugnet.cad)
