Visual Batari Basic, won't open or compile

[Tangentg]

So I got Visual Batari Basic from the Tinkernut website yesterday and whenever I try to open a file, it gives me this error. (See draft_5)

 

When I try to run a tutorial code, it says the code "is not the latest version" and asks if I want to compile.

 

And every time I try compiling, it says "path is not legal".

 

What could be done to fix these? Thanks

Windows 7, 64bit.

 

Visual Batari Basic will NOT save settings. This is driving me insane.

 

Each and every time I start it, I get the "It looks like you are running VisualbB for the first time.. etc.." and I have to go through the config options again.

 

BatariBasic is in it's own folder in DOWNLOADS

 

VisualBatariBasic is in it's own folder in DOWNLOADS

 

Stella installed in PROGRAM FILES

 

I can properly set both paths, but the moment I close it then open it again, I need to reset everything.

 

 

Also, when I try to test it in Stella, I get the Missing Binary "Could not locate default.bas.bin" message.

 

Please help. What am I doing wrong?

I have an idea. Open your bB folder, right click at top on the file path and copy the address as text then post it here. Do the same for your VbB folder. Once we get that out of the way, we can try other things.

Try using this version of VbB instead:

And have you looked at this section of the bB page:

Also, there's my workaround here:

It fell off the first page so it might have gotten lost among other solutions.
