Last post from 2003... Wondering if anyone can shed some light on this?
I've tried today in Vista64 and XP32-SP3 tonight and am unable to [exec] or [open] files.
It always returns with: "Tcl error: couldn't create error file for command: no such file or directory"
I tried various temp-path settings and so on, various permission settings, nothing will work. Tried redirecting output such as exec "blah.exe 2>errors.txt" exec "blah.exe >&errors.txt" but this just caused eggdrop.exe to freeze and throw an error.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I went back to Windrop 1.6.17 which was still compiled against Tcl 8.4, and simply replaced the libtcl8.4.dll with the one from ActiveState Tcl 8.4.9.1 bin/tcl84.dll. (http://downloads.activestate.com/ActiveTcl/Windows/8.4.9/ActiveTcl8.4.9.1.139183-win32-ix86.exe)
I can now [exec] and [open "|"] very wonderfully.

This post - https://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=3453618 - totally solved it.
