Can't get started

[NKCSS]

I would like to repair CDX files with corrupted tags.

I set up a new Windows 11 Pro VM, fully updated it, downloaded VPF9 iso from Archive.org and installed it. Opened the sdt.pjx, went to Code -> Programs -> SDT -> Build, did a recompile all files, built 685 symbols, no errors.

Tried to run it; error that 'logo.scx' does not exist. I added the Source, SFCommon and more folders to the search paths, and then it continues, shows the splash screen, and then nothing.

I then tried to compile it into a Win32 excutable, which results in this error:

SDT version:
Error #: 1
Message: File does not exist.
Line #: 62
Code: SELECT _property

Method: init
Object: frmSDT.

I tried opening the tutorials, but they don't seem to do anything?

I know I must be missing something, so any help is appreciated.

Did you read the documentation for SDT? When you run SDT.app, it displays the logo, then adds a couple of items to the Tools menu. So nothing else appears until you choose one of the items from the menu.

SDT isn't intended to be an EXE; it should be an APP that runs within the VFP IDE.

I recommend reading the documentation: SDT.chm.
