[mcstas-users] installation...

[Hussey, Daniel S.]

Sorry to send this to the list, but my message to mcstas at risoe.dk was bounced by Riso....
I'm having some problems with installing...I've tried to install on Windows XP, 32-bit and 64-bit systems.  I used the McStas-1.12a-i686-Win32.exe, and clicked "Next" all the way through, accepting the defaults.  When I execute the "Test McStas Installation" in the Help menu, I get the following output in the Mcgui:

Plotters: Scilab PGPLOT/McStas HTML VRML Clustering methods: Single Threads # McStas self-test (mcrun --test='compatible graphics') McStas version 1.12a - Apr. 02, 2009

And the following messages in the c-console:
Use of uninitialized value $dir in pattern match (m//) at C:\McStas\lib/tools/perl/mcrunlib.pl line 241.
'no' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Any ideas on how to make the install work????
