Digital BW, The Print

I download and unzip "QuadTonePCbeta1.zip" and double click 
on "InstallQuadTone.bat" but what I get in the window is:

*
*
*    Install QuadtoneRIP/PC Software
*
*
The system cannot find the path specified.
The system cannot find the path specified.
The system cannot find the path specified.
*
*    Installation Complete
*
Press any key to continue...


I not sure what "The system cannot find....", means as I get a new 
folder in my C:\Program Files called QuadToneRIP with folders called 
bin, model, ppd and quadtone.  Nothing's in them but they're there.  
This doesn't sound right.

Now, again, this isn't life or death as I have a 1280 so can't use it 
yet.  I just want to be ready.

Thanks,

Tom

Hi Tom,

It's too bad that windows/dos don't have better messages but...

Since you are getting the directories, I'm wondering:  did you move
the InstallQuadTone out of the folder before running it?  If so the
script can't find the programs to install.  It should be in the
QuadTonePCbeta1 folder when you double-click it.

Thanks Roy.  I think I've got it.  I was simply unzipping and double 
clicking on InstallQuadTone.  When I extracted the file it created a 
QuadTonePCbeta1 folder.  Then I opened InstallQuadTone and the same 
files were created in C:\Programs but now the bin file has 
imagetoraster.exe, quadtoneprint.bat and quadtoprinter.exe.  I don't 
get the, "The system cannot find the path specified", message this 
time.  The other folders are still empty.  Sound OK?

Thanks again for your help.

Tom

Tom,

Same thing happened to me.  My message was:

>cmd /c "C:\Program Files\QuadToneRIP\bin\quadtoneprint"
'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

and the problem was as you described:  nothing in the bin folder!  I
too installed the same way you did, anmd got the same "The system
cannot find the path specified" message three times.

So I merely ran the zip folder again, copied those three files into
the bin folder already in the QTR program bin folder and now problem
solved!  I'm printing my 4th print now experiementing with cool, sepia
and neutral on EEM and PR.  So far so good, 'cept being used to so
much BO printing lately the prints do not look as sharp.  That's the
cost of smooth tones and no dots I guess.
