Command promt/shell on Windows 10
Hi guys!
I'm looking for a way to use the command prompt on Windows 10 or 8 from Max, just like the [shell] object on Mac. So far the [mxj DOShack] and [mxj fe.shell] do not work. They won't even load in Max 7. I don't know if this is a problem from Windows 10 which I'm currently on or Max 7.
What I want in the end is to load a python script with variable input. Already researching for a day now, any help appreciated, thanks!
I use [mxj DOShack]. I can not turn on verbose mode, for some reason, but other than that, it works.
Do you have a message at start-up that says something about JAVA not installed or something? Do you use any other [mxj] without problem?
You may want to share your Max window when you want to use DOShack.
Jep, using [mxj filesys] and the Max Windows shows that Jitter Java is loaded. The only thing missing is Quicktime, although when I tried to install that I couldn't find the right installer for Windows 10.
Max Window output:

Quicktime not installed.
Jitter requires Quicktime to be installed to run.
Please download from www.apple.com and install.
Jitter Java support installed
Could not load class 'DOShack'
Okay, found Quicktime 7.7.6 that installs and runs on Windows 10. But Max 7 doesn't recognise it. Still not working.
No, it is not Quicktime.
Have you downloaded the last version of DOShack?
http://francois.eudes.free.fr/software.htm
Do you have DOShack.class, and DOShack$1.class somewhere in your search path?
Downloaded the software from that site and put them in Documents/Max 7/Library.
Though noticed that Max 7 on my WMware install of Windows 10 didn't have this one in it's search path.
Added it, and still no go. My subscription of Max just expired so I can't copy compressed right now. Hopefully I've got that fixed today.
Just for the record, typing [mxj DOShack] should do it right?
Do you have DOShack.class, DOShack.help and DOShack$1.class in your search path. Is it in a folder? Do you have them in a subfolder? If yes, did you put a "x" under subfolder in your File Preferences? What happens when you open DOShack help file?
"Could not load class ‘DOShack’" often means that it can not find it.
All of them are in a folder, just like the other mxj externals I've installed. Could it be that they need a specific order in that subfolder again?
Max 7/Library/DOShack/the three files
So, does it says "Could not load class ‘DOShack’" even when you open the help file: DOShack.help that is placed next to DOShack.class and DOShack$1.class ?
What JAVA version did you installed?

I personally only used the Windows x86 one.
