MLwiN fails to open after changing the default worksheet set

Post by leap »

I have followed the instructions in the FAQ but I have not been able to execute the windows command line "mlwin /sheetsize 5000" - I am able to run mlwin but not to change the sheetsize. I am working with the trial version of mlwin - I was wondering if anyone had experienced a similar problem.
Thank you.

It may be that the trial wrapper isn't passing on the command to MLwiN. You can test this with the command option "mlwin /help". If it doesn't display a list of possible options then this is the case. An alternative way to reset the size is to copy the following into a text file called "mlwin_reset.reg" and then double click the file:

Code: Select all

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings\MLWin\WorksheetSize]
"cells"="5000"
"levels"="5"
"columns"="1500"
"evars"="150"
"groups"="20"

As you suggested the command wrapper is not functioning on the trial version.
I used the text file and it worked perfectly.
Thank you very much.
