Title: Windows Couldn't find poclmb.exe.
Post by: abelort on May 04, 2011, 04:53:46 PM
Hi everybody!


I'm a beginner when it gets to Bitcoins. But i got a problem with the launcher. Windows repport an error message, and says it cannot find the poclmb exe. My batchfile is looking like this.

: start /DC:\bitcoin\poclbm poclbm.exe -d0 --host=deepbit.net --port=8332 --user="email" --pass="my password"

Have i done anything wrong?

I'm not a Windows user, but I'd hazard a guess that there should be a space between D and C

Ummm...I'm a noob too...but shouldn't it look like this?

start /DC:\bitcoin\poclbm\poclbm.exe -d0 --host=deepbit.net --port=8332 --user="email" --pass="my password"

Note the extra slash in bold.

I think that's okay...the command path wasn't complete, though.

Remove the colon at the beginning.

Everything else is correct, despite slurch and ribuck's suggestions.

Obviously you've extracted poclbm to that folder, correct?

And that isn't the bitcoin client, it's a mining program.

Do you have the SDK installed? Proper drivers?
