Script compiler error

First time out of the vault
I wrote my first script using fse and used the program's compiler. It said that the script compiled successfully, but I sure can't tell that it did, because I can't find the .int file anywhere. So I tried compiling it using Zixdey's tutorial, and it worked up to the point where I had created a temp.ssl file. When I try to compile it, though, I get this:

DOS/4GW fatal error <1008>: can't load executable format for file TEMP.ssl [1]

I have zero experience with compiling and haven't the foggiest idea what this error is referring to. Can anyone tell me what's going wrong?
 
Apart from the succesfull compile window, did you get the output path window?
If you declare a procedure and then don't use it in the script, then FSE says you it compiled the script but in reality it did not. This is because FSE fails to grab the error message from the compiler. Make also sure you configured the editor properly and then try to compile an existing script. If it compiles then there's a mistake in your script (I'm talking out my personal experience...). Please let me know if you manage to solve your problem.
 
I'm not getting any sort of output path window upon so-called successful compilation. I tried compiling a few preexisting scripts and I got the same thing -- it says it compiled successfully, but the .int file doesn't show up. I even tried starting a new script, filling it with gibberish, and it STILL says that it compiled successfully. I do notice that attempting to compile anything causes FSE to give me an error whenever I exit the program. I tried reinstalling FSE but it's still giving me the same problem.
 
hmm first make sure you have latest FSE version (1.5a).

Something must be wrong with running compiler.
Can you write here messages that you get when script is compiled.

It may be also problem with runing DOS4GW extender if you have XP.
 
When I run the compiler in FSE I get this:

Compiling file: "ecprot.ssl"
Starting preprocessor
Precompilation successful!
Compiling preprocessor output:"temp.i"
Script compiled successfully!

Nothing else happens after that, so I just close the window.

Not that I know anything about these programs, but you might be right about DOS4gw being the problem, seeing as how I get that 'fatal error' message when I try compiling the script outside of FSE.
 
(o.k. this is probably going to be redundant but...)
It seems to me you did not solve your problem yet. Did you download the latest version of FSE? I remember I had lots of troubles with the earlier version (mainly related with batch files and proper compiler configuration, I really know little about DOS). The newest version handles everithing automatically and really makes your (scripting) life easyer. Also, I know little about Win XP versions, but I have XP Home Edition and FSE 1.5a works fine on my sistem. Please let me know
 
Looks like the problem was me using an older version. I guess I just assumed that the one available to download on this site was the newest version. Now that I'm using 1.5a it's working just fine. Well, sort of. My script still isn't compiling, but at least I now know that's because I managed to fill the thing with about six hundred errors.
