WRasp32 @ http://www.mrhq.org/ expired

I just installed Windows7 on my machine and had to do the custom install which requires you to reinstall all apps. I can't find my original zip file for WRasp32. The website https://www.mrhq.org/ where you can download it had it's domain expired 12/11/2010 so it's not there now.

Does anyone have a copy of the original .zip or .exe file used to install WRasp32 that they could send me?

Thanks...

Perfect, thanks....

I didn't even know that ftp was there. Looks like a bookmark!

Does anyone know how you're supposed to log on to the FTP server? It keep prompting me for credentials and nothing I enter is working.

The FTP server passwords have been changed some time after Darell died and the server is not public anymore. The administrators of RP can retrieve the files though, if you ask them.

Edit: I see your question is already answered.

Your Google-fu isn't working well as I found it easy to locate a copy:

I have no idea what is inside that zip file but it sure looks like what you want.

I have what looks like an old wRASP install that I've dropped on ROL's server.

You can find it here

I'll leave it there, in case someone else needs it.

The path of least resistance is going to be to download XP Compatibility Mode for Windows 7. Then, run wRASP under the virtual PC instance it creates.

Virtual PC isn't anywhere near as scary or difficult as it sounds -- basically, you're running a program that creates a vritual world that looks, smells, and tastes like a Windows XP computer. It's easy to setup.

If that's more than you want to contend with, then your better bet is to go to OpenRocket or RockSim.

Now, all that said, let me see if I can find the source code for wRASP, and see how much work it would take to recompile it for Windows 7. Sounds like a good use of a Sunday.

Did you get an opportunity to try it?

My quick and dirty attempt to combine this code and this code in Visual Studio 2010 failed so far. I butchered the code until it compiled, but the result is functionally completely useless.



The App Compat Toolkit might work too, depending on where the cause for the problem lies.

Are those the Wrasp forms? It's been so long since I use them. I know they aren't the Wrasp32. I might have to try to put together a new version in VS 2010 also. Might redo it all in Visual Basic. Just need the algorithms.

I don't remember either. To me the dialog seemed somewhat familiar and wrong at the same time, but I can't point it out specifically.

It's written in Borland C++ -- I don't have time (right now) to unravel its UI code, so I've tabled the effort, for now.
