Squint - the sqf editor and error-checker

For error checking it is still by far the best (and only) tool out there. A must for every scripter in my view.

not trying to dig up an old thread, but has squint stop working for anyone else? It has been working fine , but today it has just stopped. I get a message saying "application cannot be started, contact application vendor". I use squint alot and hate losing it.

It's working for me just now. I think that the application contacts the authors website every time it's used and if that'd down, the application won't work. Perhaps it was down when you tried?

That is very possible, it has been down most of the day. Will check it again tomorrow. Nothing that I know of has changed on my system to block it, not unless Windows did an update and changed something.

Edit: finally got it to work, had to uninstall/reinstall, seems to be working again.

I've been having trouble as well over the last week or so. For example, Squint decided that the line

Code:

if (!isserver) exitwith {};

was incorrect (but offered no fix). After various other (non)-errors were detected I decided to reinstall.

Unfortunately I cannot reinstall. Running setup results in a failure with the following report:

Spoiler:

Perhaps a recent MS update has broken something?

Anyone have any ideas - this is much too valuable a tool to lose..

FWIW: XP Pro 32, SP3, etc. All up-to-date.

EDIT:

Ugh. the link in the first post is out of date (armaleague site is defunct).

The 'temporary' link posted by mac is working:

Orcinus has reported that there is some possibility that the old armaleague.com site from which the original installer ran has been compromised and contains malware. You should not even be able to run squint anymore if you installed from this site but on the off chance you are thinking of installing it again, please use the link in the above.

ugh, my squint stopped working a week ago, and now I can't install it. says, "application cannot be started, contact the application vendor". tried on two different machines, with different internet connections. is anybody having this issue?

**Das Attorney** · Feb 14 2013, 19:55

Starts fine on my machine - v134.

**sorophx** · Feb 14 2013, 21:36

maybe the problem is I'm using Win XP, and for some reason Squint doesn't support it anymore... I'll try to install it on my Win 7

I deleted the old version, which was not running. downloaded from the link above "working" version.
during installation I receive the following error message^ can't download bla bla bla and "Details"....

Spoiler:

There may be offline version?
