direct RT wont run in medialab

[katherineinus]

I have exactly the same versions at work. I wondered whether it could be directing to the 2006 version of Direct Rt which I downloaded as trial but did not get a license code for. SO I first deleted the Direct RT 2006 folder in my system documents (not a good idea I know) and then uninstalled the 2006 trial version (which I should have done immediately) but now I get the message "76 path not found" when I reach my first direct rt programmed questionnaire and will not run through the rest of the course (which is a problem for me, prior to this I could at least see whether the rest of my course was running). I hope you can help...

Ah, yes that makes sense--MediaLab was likely trying to run the most recent installation of DirectRT. You should be able to fix this by re-installing v2002.

Same problem here - a DirectRT item won't run via MediaLab.
MediaLab and DirectRT run fine on their own, including the particular experiments in question.
However, when trying to embed the DirectRT material into the MediaLab experiement, MediaLab stops at the point where DirectRT should kick off. And stays there. Forever. No warning messages, nothing. I need the task manager to close Medialab then. the computer doesn't crash though.
Next door, similar setup machine, the above experiment runs just fine!...(can't swap the computers though).

What versions of each program are you using (i.e., 200x.x.x)?

In the PC that has the problem:
DirectRT: Version 2004.1.0.12
MediaLab: Version 2004.3.24

In the PC that works ok:
DirectRT: Version 2004.1.0.55
MediaLab: Version 2004.3.11

Well, if it is a version problem, I suspect it's due to DirectRT on the first machine (v2004.1.12). That is a REALLY early version of v2004. The final release of Direct v2004 was v2004.3.27 which you can download here:

The first machine has the final release of MediaLab v2004 installed on it, so I expect you should be ok there.

Ok, thanks a lot.
Will download, try and update later.
