ACPI Log collector: PCI.EXE error messages

[Chuck McKinnis]

The PCI.EXE program included in the acpi-logs-collector-20080125.zip package displays error messages:

"Error on line 1 of X:\ACPI\20080125(3_06)\LOGS-COLLECTOR\pciscan.exe: Invalid item name "MZ╩+" Press any key when ready... Error on line 2 of X:\ACPI\20080125(3_06)\LOGS-COLLECTOR\pciscan.exe: Invalid item name "╚" Press any key when ready... Error on line 3 of X:\ACPI\20080125(3_06)\LOGS-COLLECTOR\pciscan.exe: Invalid item name "█ Ç" Press any key when ready..."

This is interesting. I have seen this reported before, the fact is: PCISCAN.EXE is a (compiled) REXX wrapper to PCI.EXE. The strings you see are actually the fileheader and seems not to be executed but seen as a datafile somehow. To overcome this, please rename the references to PCISCAN.EXE to PCI.EXE in the logcollector script and try again.

Eh, of course it's the other way around: PCI.EXE is a wrapper to PCISCAN.EXE, but only in eCS 2.0 RC4.

Are you using 4OS/2 ?? if so start cmd.exe and try again.

[Chuck McKinnis]

Yes, I was using 4OS2. Using CMD.EXE I don't get those error messages.

OK, replaced fake pci.exe with working exe.
