Fatal error: Cannot load default project BC++ 4.5
Kathleen Tanner
computer. It says: Fatal error: Cannot load default project.
When I click on okay, the program shuts down. I have tried reinstallation
and that didn't work. I tried the solution posted on Borland's site for
Turbo 4.0 (deleting a file that was something like bcw*.bcw--I don't
remember what the star was). This file was supposedly in the bin directory,
but was not in mine.
Any suggestions.
As this is my first time on this newsgroup, I apologize profusely if I am in
the wrong area to ask this question. If this isn't the right area, where
should I post?
Thanks,
Kathleen Tanner

I haven't used version 4.5 in a year or so, but perhaps
there's a command-line option that lets you load a project
explicitly. Try something like
bcw my.ide
where my.ide is a project file that you know is good--if
you don't have one, use one from the examples directory.
This works with 5.02; I think the IDE is bcw.exe in 4.5 too.
If it's not on your path, try \bc45\bin\bcw my.ide .

It's \bc45\bin\bcwdef.bcw IIRC. I had a problem like this once
with 4.5 and that fix worked for me. Actually, I thought the
recommendation was to copy it from the CD. Try that--can't hurt.

You picked exactly the right group.

Your subject says BC++ 4.5 but your text says TC++ 4.5 - which is it?
They're not the same compiler, although they are similar.

The best group would be install.bcpp, which is specifically for
intallation problems and is the only group where Inprise has an
official support presence.

Thank you for your kind help. I looked for this file on the CD and on other
computers I have Turbo BC++ loaded. I have a networked computer lab with
Turbo loaded individually on each machine.
Anyhow, I can't seem to find this file.
Any other suggestions?

just erase bcwdef.bcw, load the ide, and exit it, and you'd get
a new \bc45\bin\bcwdef.bcw . But it sounds like that won't work
for you.

Two thoughts:
1. Ask in the install newsgroup, where Borland maintains an
official presence.
2. Do another reinstall, but this time delete all possible
traces of the former install first. Run any uninstall program
they supply (I don't recall what 4.5 had along these lines),
then do deltree \bc45 .

you may need to delete all the bcwdef.* files and bcconfig.bcw too (maybe tcw
instead of bcw for Turbo...). I don't know for sure if it works the same for
Turbo, but BC4.5 and 5.02 will use the built-in default if those files are not
available.
