The complete error message looks like this:

IDL Version 7.1.2, Microsoft Windows (Win32 x86_64 m64). (c) 2009, ITT
Visual Information Solutions
Installation number: 205509.
Licensed for personal use by David Fanning only.
All other use is strictly prohibited.

% GMEM_MAP: Error loading sharable executable.
Symbol: IDL_Load, File = C:\Program Files\ITT\IDL71\bin
\bin.x86\idl_gmem.dll
%1 is not a valid Win32 application.
% Execution halted at: $MAIN$
% GMEM_UNMAP: Error loading sharable executable.
Symbol: IDL_Load, File = C:\Program Files\ITT\IDL71\bin
\bin.x86\idl_gmem.dll
%1 is not a valid Win32 application.
% Execution halted at: $MAIN$


Interestingly, I had no trouble whatsoever installing IDL 7.1.2 onto
my clean install of Windows 7 on my office computer, using *exactly*
the same installation files, which reside on a external hard drive.

So, I made sure I had the very latest version of JAVA on both computers,
and I made sure my laptop had all the "important" Windows updates
installed. I removed IDL 7 from my computer completely, and used
the installation files that had just worked perfectly on my office
computer. I *still* get this error message.

I suspect now a conflict with Windows Visual Studio run-time files,
but I just don't know. Very strange. Open to any and all ideas.

I really hate to go off teaching IDL courses without a IDL 7.1.2
backup plan. :-(

Cheers,

David
