Hello,

I downloaded the installation file, and then attempted to check it in the cmd window as the instructions suggest. However, I do not get any result

While installing it says: "Warning! PATH too long installer unable to modify PATH!"

I also did not see an x64 version to try. I am wondering if it was necessary to use this version if OpenSim is also x64

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Alex

Dear Alex,
this problem is not related to the OpenSim version that you are using.
Instead, it is due to a limit of the NSIS (Nullsoft Scriptable Install System) that is used by CPack to create the CEINMS executable package.
NSIS has a maximum string length of 1024 bytes per default. So if the PATH environment variable is longer, there is a problem. There are alternative generators that do not have this limit and we will investigate the possibility to use one of them for the next release.

While this problem is annoying, the solution is fairly simple:
1. Find the directory with the CEINMS binaries (CEINMS.exe and CEINMScalibrate.exe files)
2. Copy the name of the directory (ex: C:\CEINMS\bin\ )
3. Add the name of the directory at the end of the PATH environment variable

If you do not know already how to change an environment variable, it is advisable that you read a guide. The following link (http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000549.htm) is an example.
Be really careful! Remember to add the ; (semicolon) before the name of the directory and do not add any space.

I would recommend in this case to try program Long Path Too
