I have used AEB compiler for some years and it has worked beautifully, no drama, no problems. However, a few months ago I tried another compile (the same way I did the others) and it did everything, but the final exe file has nothing in it! I even contacted Sunil Tanna a few times with no satisfactory fix, except to try this forum. Can ANYBODY help, please! I will be happy to forward an "arced" version of the index & graphic files. This is driving me (a) MAD and (b) never want to use any programs from this stable!!! Thanks in anticipation. Tony.
I did send you a list of tests to perform (if you're who I think you are), but I don't remember if you got back to me with the results, I don't think you did.
Try 1. Uninstall and reinstall 2. Browse a different output file from Edit Output 3. Then compile
To Storyman: The problem started when I tried to compile a newer version of an existing file (index.html). Also have uninstalled/reinstalled - no luck! To Sunil: Yes, I tried every test you mentioned (can't remember if I informed you-been so long), except I don't know what you mean by "Browse a different output file from Edit Output " 2 ebooks were compiled onhttp://w3.aresume.netand currymad.net. I am now trying to compile a smaller excerpt from the currymad recipe book. I even installed a version of AEB from my old "backup" pc where the file is stored. As a last resort I may have to compile it on that pc, or try to. Thanks again. Is it my pc? I am running w98se on both pc's.
What I mean by reinstall: Download the program again from our site, and install as if starting from scratch
Shut down all other programs
For the output stuff, do Edit/Output, and click Browse, to select a different EXE file name for the finished ebook. This shouldn't, but could make a difference.
You mention that the problem manifested after updating the index.html file. Do you still have a copy of the older version? If not create a new project and then a simple index.html page. See if it compiles.
I'm wondering if it is possible if you haven't been infected with a worm or the like. Since Microsoft no longer supports Win98 it kind of leaves your system vulnerable. It might be worth checking out this site:
Sunil: I will try to download and use the old u/n and p/w. Storyman: I have gone to your suggested url and found a few "problems". Thanks for the tip. I will try BOTH of you'lls suggestions, and hope for the best. Really, I have looked at other software and their ratings, but, I keep coming back to AEB! /So, help me stay there. Thanks. Tony.
Thanks Storyman, the ONLY problem I have is that the compiled exe file has 0 bytes! About the index file, I might try a small test file with a few lines in it. Also, thanks for the lead to the micro site, it found some infections which have been cleaned out. Didn't do too much last night as I was "hooked on the cricket in England"! Thanks. Tony.
This is what I did! Uninstalled/Reinstalled on my pc - "No Go". Uninst/Reinst on another drive on my pc, still "No Go". Installed on another pc with same index & other files-Worked "like a charm". Problem? This pc not connected to 'Net, cannot register-25 file limit and cannot use eBook for sale. Apart from connecting this pc to 'Net, anything else I can do pls??? If (by flook) I connect this pc to the 'Net, register and disconnect from the 'Net, will it be OK to compile commercial eBooks (it is still the ONE copy of the software that I am using)???Awaiting your "words of wisdom pls". Thanks. Tony.
