<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Dear Mcstas experts,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I was trying to do an exercise with the McStas 1.8 package in a Win XP environment. When I issued the command in a dos window:</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">"C:\mcstas\lib\examples>mcrun.pl -N5 vanadium_example.instr rot=0,10"</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I got the following error message:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">"mcrun: Could not run simulation. at C:\mcstas\lib/tools/perl/mcrunlib.pl line 150."</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I tried to use the mcgui to do the same scan but still got the same error message. Anybody got a clue to help me out here?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Thanks,</FONT>
