Title: Codeview Quirks
Post by: Shintaro on January 22, 2022, 09:29:28 PM
Hi,
I just thought I would let people know what the fix for "Error executing CV.EXE"Quite simply move the directory where CodeView resides to the start of the PATH.
Seems like and environment problem.
I changed to shell=c:\dos\command.com /p /e:1024It didn't make a difference.

Tested on CV 3.14 and 4.01
In virtualBox 6.1
MSDOS 6.22

Also, the /X (Extended Memory) /E (Expanded Memory) for loading CV in to those memory regions didn't seem to work, could possibly be me though.
CV seemed to be loaded around 022xx - 026xx.As far as I know EMS starts at 0A000 and XMS at 0FFFF.
Happy to be wrong.

I know this post was a while back, but I appreciate it. Saved me from endless hours (more endless hours) of pain and suffering in 2023 on my laptop running actual dos 6.22! Just moved C:\MASM611 to the front of the path and voila problem solved.
