Ahhh. Sorry. I probably shouldn't have included this as an EXE. To run it needs to be able to find the remaining files. Did I also
include it as an *.smp?

If you mean, is there a file "guisimpolserver.smp" NO.

Attached is the zip file containing the guisimpolserver.smp file.

OK, having gotten the association thing fixed. It still doesn't run.
I get "SMPL error number 21". If I run guisimpolserver.smp in cmd window
and if I run the .exe I get "application has failed to start because
SMPOL32.dll was not found…." error.

smpol32.dll is in two places:

C:Program FilesSIMPOLbin

and in

C:Program FilesSIMPOLredist

Did you pass it a config file on the command line?

I don't know what you mean by this.

If it is a gui application, why would I have to pass a config file as a
parameter.

But in any case, I seen an obvious problem:

Your sample.cfg has the wrong directory line.

You have

C:simpolutilitiessimpolserver

But things are now installed here:

C:Program FilesSIMPOLUtilitiessimpolserver

Am I installing incorrectly, because the installer defaults to
installing under Program Files.

In any case, I've now got it working.

To go to all that trouble writing a gui and to still require passing a
parameter on a command line, I don't get it.
I was presuming that the gui version would also handling writing the cfg
file or otherwise handling the parameters that are found in the cfg.

It currently requires a config file because it is a GUI wrapper to a command line program. It is also generic, the same program
works independently of which databases it is sharing or on which ports, so you need some way of telling it that. A later version
will probably allow you to define all of that interactively and it will let you save these specifications off in the format of the
current config file. It will then be smart enough to load the last used one when started, which will mean you won't need to pass a
file to start with. Still, this is very simple program that provides a GUI for the server. Earlier programs did not (our servers
still use the old command line version instead of this one, since we run them on Linux and don't run a GUI on our servers).

Ciao, Neil
