Hello readers:
I have now two subfolders on my C:\Program Files (x86) with both
Maxima-5.28.0-2 and Maxima-5.30.0 installed (this is the latest to go from
a latest Windows Binaries but not from the usual Sourceforge).
My experience is that two EXECs I tested initially were opening wxMAXIMA
but crashes out when I open my working existing worksheets )which were done
in the earlier versions).
My latest functional tests (which is simply to open several existing
worksheets I have that is proven to work already) is that wxMaxima12040
does work and wxMaxima13041 does not having the same crashing out problem.
I did a simple dependency test (using dependcy walker) for the execs which
I sent out an attachment prior to this email (possibly withheld by admin
because of 40KB constraint) to see possible DLL problems on x64-bit.
My thanks to nbred at live.uni-paderborn.de (Nico) and
andrej.vodopivec at gmail.com (Andrej) for bringing in finally the latest
compiled Windows binaries - my hope is that also it will solve issues with
CPU hogging and cleaner Windows exit when a reset is done during use well I
know its really to much to ask a x64 bit version.
Regards,
Berns B.
