[Scilab-users] Can't install ATOMS modules

[Simon GARESTE]

Hi,

Thank you. We found the bug 
<http://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12320>, and fixed it 
<https://codereview.scilab.org/#/c/10545/>. In short, you can see the 
difference between your machines at the value of the 
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem\NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation 
key. This key creates (or not, depending on its value) a shortpath name 
for the folders when they are created. In your case, no shortpath name 
was created, hence the difference of path for SCI, and the ATOMS command 
to extract wasn't set between quotes (which makes it translatable by a 
windows command), so it couldn't figure out what to do when the SCI 
contained spaces.

What you can do to fix your Scilab is quit every instance of it, then 
modify your 
SCI\share\scilab\modules\atoms\atoms_internals\atomsExtract.sci, at line 
78 replace
             extract_cmd = 
getshortpathname(pathconvert(SCI+"/tools/zip/unzip.exe",%F));
by
             extract_cmd = """" + 
getshortpathname(pathconvert(SCI+"/tools/zip/unzip.exe",%F)) + """";
(or download this file 
<https://codereview.scilab.org/cat/10545%2C2%2Cscilab/modules/atoms/macros/atoms_internals/atomsExtract.sci%5E0>) 
and copy it to the path

Then in SCI\share\scilab\modules\atoms\macros, execute buildmacros.bat 
and restart your scilab

Best regards,

Simon
