Hdfview Download Windows
Ernestina Vanhouten
Download hdfview.bat (Windows) from +3.1.2#HDFView3.1.2-knownprobs
and place it in the same folder that HDFView.exe is installed.
Run the .bat file and that should sort out the problem.
I also installed vc_redist.x64.exe from
-us/topic/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads-2647da03-1eea-4433-9aff-95f26a218cc0
before running the batch file.
Hello!
We created scripts for launching HDFView. Can you try the windows script (hdfview.bat) to see if it solves your problem? See the portal page for more information:
+3.1.2#HDFView3.1.2-knownprobs
I have the same problem HDFView 3.1.2 in Windows 10. I downloaded the hdfview.bat file and put it in the HDFView.exe file. Still the same problem persists (black cmd screen flashes for one second). Any suggestions?
Created a folder, c:\HDF_files
Placed hdfview.bat and HDFView-3.1.2.exe in the folder
Opened the cmd line
Changed the directory in the command line to c:\HDF_files
Ran the command hdfview.bat
Got the error, "The system cannot find the file c:\HDF_files\runtime\bin\javaw.exe
Dectris Eiger detectors are creating HDF5 data files which are compressed using lz4 compression scheme. Hence, this data can only be read with addinional external filter plugins installed and a system variable named HDF5_PLUGIN_PATH pointing to its location set. lz4 filter plugin is installed on maxwell servers, but depending on the users shell, it may happen that this variable is not defined by default. Then the user has to set/define it by him/herself (for the recommended bash shell it should be defined by default, for (t)csh this is not the case).
In case you encounter a problem reading such files, please check whether the variable is set and define it if needed before calling e.g. hdfview (same holds when using python/h5py).
