I had to reinstall windows 7 (hopefully for the last time) I installed ENIGMA with the zip installer, and updated it with the files on the repo. I now get these errors when compiling: http://pastebin.com/cd6nyNAf

I suspect you formatted the drive when reinstalling Windows? And can you post the whole log? Also, try just installing from .zip and not updating from Git. The zip alone is known as the "working copy" and should work. The stuff in Git can break it, because maybe .jar's have changed as well and you haven't updated them.

Indeed the stand alone install sometimes can be outdated.  Always make sure you also have the latest JARs.  Those do not get automatically sent with update

[TheExDeus]

They are outdated, but usually they are the ones that work. So I encourage him to not get the latest GIT (unless there is something new you want) and not update any JAR's either. If you do want to update, then update both. If do that, then you also need to recompile the .dll (it should do it automatically if you delete the .dll).

The reason why I asked about formatting the drive is so that to make sure files in C:/ProgramData/ENIGMA/ are deleted. Especially C:/ProgramData/ENIGMA/.eobjs should not exist when installing new ENIGMA, otherwise conflicts can happen.

No that is not the issue at all, he's getting the errors from the General platform headers and changes I made. He just needs to rebuild all or delete eobjs to clear the cache.

[TheExDeus]

Exactly what I said. Thanks for agreeing.

[Goombert]

That was pretty hard to infer Harri, since you started off talking about it being a broken update I ended up ignoring the rest of what you said, updating from Git should not break anything.

That's probably the issue. About 3 out of 5 posts you start with "No" as in disagreeing and then the rest of the post is how you agree. I don't have a problem with that, but it's just weird and can end up confusing to others.

So this means when you reinstalled Windows you had the old files laying around? And did you recompile the .dll? Robert may make a new zip today/tomorrow and then you should try that. Before you do you should DELETE the main ENIGMA folder (the one with ENIGMA.exe inside, so NOTHING is left behind, don't overwrite anything) and the ENIGMA folder in the ProgramData as well.
The errors you seem to be getting are almost guaranteed to stem from conflicts between old versions of ENIGMA (or the combination of different versions of JAR's and ENIGMA).

[Goombert]

Yes Harri, that was his issue. However, purely deleting the ProgramData folder did not solve it. He also had to rebuildcompiler from git-bash after re-extracting, but he did eventually get it working again.

The new Portable ZIP is live and ready for download.
