You asked and answered your question.
The only question I asked was if you really believe what you said is true .. my answer thus means that I have yet to be convinced that you believe what you've stated. That's a serious accusation ... but going the other way would be an even more serious accusation.
I believe what i said is true.
i discovered the missing "%" symbol and got the DLL made
You mean I discovered it and told you about it over the IRC channel, right?
No, i do not mean that. Previous to me saying it, you had said the following when i was not in channel (i was in bed asleep):
.. 5 am Thursday 9/27/2012 .. [05:28] <iamlost> mattlewis: do we have a bug in the branches? [05:29] <iamlost> mattlewis: i looked at euphoria-ow.iss and i see it writes out %WATCOM\binw to setenv-ow.bat when setting the PATHI then woke up and came into channel ~3.5 hours later, i didn't see what you said previously.
.. 9 am Thursday 9/27/2012 .. [09:07] <katsmeow-afk> <cough> [09:09] <iamlost> crikey [09:09] <iamlost> what a joke [09:09] <katsmeow-afk> i missed the jokeand we discussed the lack of time concurrency of irc. Later on, after i looked into the strangeness of the PATH variable after running setenv-ow.bat, and later:
[09:25] <katsmeow-afk> i do not have access to the installer code, so i cannot fix it, but if the install is inconsistant, i'd like to blame the installer, if you don't mnd [09:34] <iamlost> katsmeow-afk: well [09:34] <iamlost> we do have at least one bug in the installer that i found this morning [09:35] <iamlost> directly related to setenv-ow.batWhich isn't saying "the bug in is setenv-ow.bat" . . .
[09:35] <iamlost> so ... [09:35] <iamlost> yeah, the installer has a bug [09:35] <katsmeow-afk> i see a missing % setenv-ow.batAnd that is the bug i found, which strangely YOU dispute later on . . .
[09:35] <katsmeow-afk> or, i don't see a missing % [09:35] <katsmeow-afk> it's missing, ic annot see it [09:36] <katsmeow-afk> do you want to fix it am appologise to me, or shall i appologise to me for you? [09:36] <iamlost> katsmeow-afk: i'd prefer the later, thank you very much.so i appologised to me for you in private, even tho the appology was related to you saying i had installed Eu wrong in this forum.
[09:37] <mattlewis> does the bug there fix katsmeow-afk's problem? [09:37] <katsmeow-afk> and, why has this not been caught before?!? [09:37] <iamlost> mattlewis: i doubt it [09:37] <iamlost> mattlewis: based on her PATH, she seems to have bigger issuesBOOM There, you disregarded my bug report. I had already run the fixed bat file and euc by then, and it completed, apparently properly. But you said i have bigger issues with the install or path.
[09:37] <katsmeow-afk> what's wrong with the path ? [09:37] <iamlost> katsmeow-afk: dunno. it seems to have been present as far back as 40b2 [09:37] <katsmeow-afk> wow [09:38] <katsmeow-afk> no one has run setenv-ow.bat in years? [09:38] <mattlewis> iamlost: I agree, for the reasons in my last forum postThat was Matt disregarding it . . .
[09:38] <iamlost> hmm, i am mistaken [09:38] <iamlost> i ran the broken setenv-ow.bat and got the same path [09:38] <iamlost> windoze is crap :/And there you go blaming windoze for the disregarded bug in setenv-ow.bat. By then i had fixed the bat file and gotten my DLL once. Just to be sure, i ran it a 2nd time to get a clean screen and post it on irc.
Erm .. have you tried the path where you just file a ticket?
Again you disregarded me saying i know better than to file a ticket. I know better because i have filed tickets before, yes. At least here only you and Matt went after me. This was more than enough drama for me, i don't need the whole dev team on my rear.
