Hello,
Recently I created a tool using the IDL (8.0) Virtual Machine. I gave
it to some colleagues to use, and some were able to run the tool
successfully, though a couple of them received an error message when
trying to run the tool. In instances when the tool does not work, the
user first double clicks the tool's exe file and successfully gets to
the first IDL screen where it asks you if you want to launch the tool
or exit, then, when you go to launch the program you get the following
error message which ends any attempt at actually getting to the GUI
for the tool I set up:
"Run-time error '5': Invalid procedure or call argument"
I've googled this and haven't found anything specific to IDL. It seems
that this error message is somewhat of a catch all for Windows systems
and some websites suggest that it may be a problem with a computer's
registry. So far, I have only tested this on Windows XP machines. Any
suggestions on what could be wrong? Is there anything I can adjust
within my IDL program to avoid this problem? Or is it likely
particular to the Windows machine that is trying to run the program,
my code, or some flaw in this version of IDL? It is a bit confusing
since the same exact program works successfully on my computer, as
well as some other computers without IDL installed on them. Thanks in
advance for your help.
Chris
