Did you have an old version of Chimera installed in the same place before? If you don't wipe out the old installation, the new version can wind up loading old versions of Chimera's DLLs instead of the newer ones. We are revamping the installer to prevent overwriting old installations but that's not in a release yet. Anyway, try wiping out your Chimera install directory and reinstalling and see what happens. --Eric On May 20, 2006, at 8:26 PM, Christian Schafmeister wrote:

Hi there,

I tried installing the latest snapshot of chimera for windows: chimera-1.2224-win32.exe as well as the production release 1.2199 and I get an error when it tries to start up.

Dialog box: pythonw.exe - Entry Point Not Found The procedure entry point ?pathSeparator@PathFactory@otf@@SADXZ could not be located in the dynamic link library libotf.dcl

When I try chimera --debug

I get File "C:\Program Files\Chimera\share\chimera\__init__.py", line 15 in ? from _chimera import * ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified procedure could not be found. Return code: 1

I have python 2.4.2 already installed on my machine, is that causing a problem?

Cheers,

.Chris.
