Wordshark and Numbershark work in similar ways. Most of the following error messages apply to both programs.  These error messages are based on Wordshark release 3s.05  and later. Earlier releases have minor differences.

Symptom: On running the program, an error message similar to the one above is displayed.


Cause:  Our launcher program is unable to find our program files. These are normally stored EITHER on the server (check the icon properties “target” for location) OR on the local C: Drive / Program files / [Word][Number]shark [3][4]/[Word][Number]shark-Programs, or its subdirectories “Bin” or “Lib”.


Possible reasons:


A) You do not have “read” permissions for this class of users for our program directory, or one of  its sub-directories.  Solution: Adjust permissions. Note - if you appear to have “read” permissions, try inserting then reading a “Word” document that you  put in this directory and then in each of the sub-directories.


B) Some or all of the program directory “Wordshark-programs”, or its subdirectories “Bin” and “Lib” are missing.  Solution: Copy the missing files back in from the similarly named location on the install disk.


With thanks to Alison Powell for being the first to have, and report, this problem: Someone had “binned” her bin sub-directory!
