Hello, I’d to format the computer…I installaed again VS2019
the I instalaled again Root but when I open it, I get errors
Please read tips for efficient and successful posting and posting code
ROOT Version: 6.20
Platform: Windows
Compiler: Not Provided
Yes, this is a known issue. You have to build ROOT from source…
Hi @bellenot thank you…but I can’t understand the reason…before to format the computer I installed Root without problems…What is the problem now? Visual studio installation problems or what?
Moreover…how can I install from source?
Thank you
You probably installed a different version of Visual Studio (the latest), while with your old setup you had an older one. And to build from source, see for example this thread
Thank you @bellenot I got VS2019 here …I think it’s the latest one because I downloade it yesterday! Will you fix the problem in next Root release?
Thank you
Unfortunately not
Thank you @bellenot anyway, I’m trying to install from source…but I get this erro

So you can maybe try to install git for Windows…
Thank you @bellenot
Maybe I installed ROOT, because I had no errors (but I had 87 waminngs) as you can see by the log
log.txt (597.7 KB)
But in the start menu I don’t see ROOT (When I installed it by binary file, I had ROOT in the stard menu).
Maybe it’s normal, because I also use Geant4 and I don’t have it in the start menu…but how should I run ROOT now?
Thank you
First call thisroot.bat:
C:\root-6.20.04-build\bin\thisroot.bat
then, from a Visual Studio command prompt, simply type root. or root -l
Thank you @bellenot it worked but I’ve 2 last question please.
ERROR in TPDF::Open: Cannot open file:C:/corona.pdf
It looks like a problem in TPDF...
cd C:\root-6.20.04-build\bin
thisroot.bat
root -l
but it looks like working just until
cd C:\root-6.20.04-build\bin
thisroot.bat
It doesn’t open root (the root -l command) do you know the reason?
Weird, it should work, try to not save in the root (C:\) directory.
And here is how your batch script should look like:
@echo off
call C:\root-6.20.04-build\bin\thisroot.bat
root -l
Oh yes! you are right I didn’t think that in C:/ we need permission!
I tried it but it says that the input line is so long…is there other solution? Anyway, that’s no a big problem, so don’t worry about that!
This should work, it works just fine for me. How do you call it?
I just write root.bat
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community> root.bat
Try to start from your home directory (cd %USERPROFILE%)
Hi @bellenot, I get the same error…but really don’t worry…I will write 2 times root…it isn’t a problem!
Hi @bellenot sorry, but I was trying to use this macro (it worked in the past by using the ROOT installed by binary file)
caloeff.cpp (230.5 KB)
but you see when I run it, nothing is happening
this is the root file
si-500596.root (1.4 MB)
And it isn’t the only one…for example this running this macro
calocal.cpp (70.7 KB)
I get the same problem
but I used these macros in the past
Do you understand the reason?
