I'm trying to run the latest version of InfoQube, which only has a download for the portable version.
 
Anyway, on Windows 7, all it does is display the little opening title box in the middle of the screen for about half a second and then nothing.
 
I thought perhaps my anti-virus was being overzealous and shutting it down, so I shut it off and tried again. Same thing.
 
I also tried one version previous (also seems to be portable-only) with the same problem.
 
Any ideas on what could be wrong? I am trying to run it from a directory I made on the desktop and not a USB stick.

Unfortunately, that link does not seem to work.
 
Also, it's the 32-bit edition.

Try this:  -- link to nonexistent node ID 698 --  I know I had to do something to get the install working on windows 7, and I bet this was it.

That fixed it, thanks.
 
Also, for Vista/Win 7, in order to register the DLL, you'll have run the command prompt as admin before running the command specified in the above link.

Just ran the portable version (latest iteration here) on win xp pro. The application appears to momentarily start then dissapears. No interface. However, checking system applications shows that InfoQube0.9.24FPortable is RUNNING. So the exe is running but there is no UI available. Any ideas please ... TIA (nothing else is running to interfere with IQ

Ok, problem solved another regsvr32 \windows\system32\MSCOMCTL.OCX requirement. I thought my distro was a standard PC box, but it appears it was a notbook distro! Hence the missing OCX in windows/system32. Need to plug that hole someone... Thanks for the pointers.
