Installation Issues

Hello,

I installed Visual Studio 2017 and then used the Windows installer for version 6.14.00. When I attempt to run the root executable from a terminal window, I get the following errors.

RegOpenKeyEx: returned 2: The system cannot find the file specified.
RegOpenKeyEx: returned 2: The system cannot find the file specified.

I cannot figure out what the issue is. Do I need some additional tools beyond the standard installation of Visual Studio 2017?

Best regards,
Ashley

Hi Ashley,

The first thing to try is to run ROOT from a x86 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2017, that should at least fix the problem of RegQueryValueEx: returned 2: The system cannot find the file specified.
One possible other issue would be a different version of Visual Studio between yours and the one used to build ROOT. If it is the case, then you could try to build ROOT from source…

Cheers, Bertrand.

Thanks Bertrand,

I used the VS 2017 command prompt this time. I received fewer errors, but it still does not work.

OK, so you could try to build ROOT from source using CMake. For example something like:

cmake -G "Visual Studio 15 2017" /path/to/source/dir
cmake --build . --config [Release|Debug]

See also building root.

I tried a different approach and set up ROOT in an Ubuntu 18 Windows subsystem with all of the required packages. I can actually open ROOT now and do some basic math functions. However, I get errors when I try to run the demo. To alleviate the first error, I tried installing the libtbb-dev package, but it says it cannot be found. Same thing if I try libtbb2. I guess I am getting closer…

Well, how did you configure ROOT? you have choice to disable imt (imt=OFF), or enable imt (imt=ON) and use builtin_tbb=ON

regulus · July 21, 2018, 12:54am

Excellent! I compiled ROOT with builtin_tbb=ON. That totally did the trick. Thank you so much for your help.
