Greets to all! I have a Processing project completed and exported as a Win32 .dot-exe file. It is being run on a Lenovo Atom processor. Newly installed Win7. Absolutely nothing I’ve tried will allow this program to run on boot. After scouring the web - I have tried all the ‘usual suspects’ and the program will just not run on boot. I can double-click the .exe file and it pops right up.
Sad thing is - this WAS working under XP - but I went and ‘upgraded’ the Lenovo to Win7 and now it seems nothing can make it run. I’ve even created Tasks for it and STILL it is ignored!
I have installed ProcMon to see if I can learn anything - and so far it is all pretty opaque!
Hoping somebody might know of some obscure setting that would prevent a simple .exe from executing at startup.
-b-
goto startup folder
c:\Users<YOU>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
and create a shortcut from your win32?64? application
The .exe files are made with the Export feature of Processing. A series of folders gets made in the project folder, and contain the .exe file as well as related data. You can export for Windows 32 & 64 as well as Linux.
From there you just put a shortcut to the .exe you want to run at startup in the startup folder - which is now strangely not working in my install of Win7. May go back to XP or maybe Linux.

that’s bad, as i show above it works on my PC
win7 32bit / SP0 / processing 3.4 /
again, did you see it in the
msconfig/startup tab?
Sadly, Processing 3.4 does not run on the Lenovo Atom processor used for this app. It is a stand-alone that runs a display in s museum and none of the operators are technically inclined. Plus the Lenovo processor is free - Processing 3.02 WAS working with WinXP. I Changed to 7 in hopes of getting 3.4 to run, but still no go. So I’ve wasted 2 days “fixing” a problem that wasn’t there.
For 2 daysI have scoured the 'net looking for how to set up the auto start and have seen MANY solutions - and tried them all I have tried many many combinations - creating a Windows Task, putting both the .exe OR a shortcut in all the various standard Win7 startup folders and noting will start. And yes - in MSConfig/Startup I see my Task and also the correct path to the Processing script and another to the actual .exe. I’ve also edited various Register paths for xxx/Run and still nothing will boot. Win7 simply boots and nothing happens. If I click on a shortcut to the app - it runs as it should. I’m not a noob at this sort of stuff so it IS rather perplexing that i cannot get it to start. It DID under XP… - I may have to reload that.
Well - it sounded like a great idea. I managed to get Peppermint installed in a partition alongside Win7 - and it booted nicely. Prob is, it sees my wireless network, but gets rejected! Want to get Processing under linux but so far a no go. My wireless is fine - iPad and other devices hooking up fine. WTF???
