Problem in using gv32.exe of the latest GrADS Windows version

[Andrew Revering]

It being corrupted sounds like a good explanation to me. I write windows
software, and whenever I've seen that error it's been because a download has
terminated before the download actually completed and the user tried to run
it. 

 

Check the file size of the working versions vs the ones that throw the
error.

had the same issue  with the new gv32
there must be some bug

 

This is very weird. The gv32.exe bundled with opengrads v2.0.a5.oga.3 is
supposed to be a copy of what was shipped in v1.9. I do not even have the
sources for it. The file must have been corrupted somehow... I'll look into
it next time I log on to Windows. In the meantime, use this version from
COLA:

Dear Sir,

    I just upgraded my GrADS Windows (my OS: Vista) Version from
2.0.a5.oga.4 to 2.0.a7.oga.3.  I sent the gv32 to my desktop as shortcut.
However, when I used it, it displayed "Entry Point Not Found" [Details: The
procedure entry point WinSqmSetDWORD could not be located in the dynamic
link library ntdll.dll].  I am not sure whether it was due to my opening the
script files using WordPad instead of Notepad or it could be a bug.  I
reinstalled your software but the problem persists.  I resolved this problem
by just copying gv32.exe (excluding the help file) from GrADS19 (still kept
in my thumbdrive) into this latest version of GrADS immediately under
C:\OpenGrADS\.

    Hope you could let me know the cause and, if possible, the remedy of my
stated problem.

    Thank you.
