Hello everybody, need please some help: I installed doxygen@64 and msgen@32, also graphviz@32, dia@32 and PlantUML. All woks fine but only msgen gets not called. I extended the %PATH%, tried MSCGEN_PATH="C:\Program Files (x86)\Msc-generator\msgen.exe", tried MSCGEN_PATH="C:\Program Files (x86)\Msc-generator\", tried MSCGEN_PATH="C:\Program Files (x86)\Msc-generator", both also in the Windows environment and in the doxygen config file - no success! I renamed msc-gen.exe into mscgen.exe. I also installed Astade and renamed Trace2UML.exe into mscgen,exe - nothing. Finally I replaced mscgen.exe with a small Windows-Calculator and now I know: It simply is not starting. There have been such issues in the past as I red in the doxygen changelog, but it says they are fixed. So right now I am a little bit helpless. The only ideas I have, is to use cygwin or linux in a virtual machine. Any ideas? Kind regards, Tea

It works now and I do not know what was wrong. Probably s.th. intern in Windows got corrected after a re-boot.
