Hi,
I haven’t encountered these issues, however I am routinely using CCP4i2 on
Windows 10. A fresh install of CCP4 Program Suite v8.0.009 + SHELX + COOT
v0.9.8.1 (exe) has worked well. After Refmac5, I use the button “Coot” to
launch a new task, then run WinCoot from there. When I use CCP4i, WinCoot has
worked from the outpage of Refmac5.
Hope this helps, please let me know if you have any questions: lmydy at

Subject: [ccp4bb] Running Refmac from WinCoot
External Email - Use Caution
Hi all
I am using WinCoot with a number of final year project students, and they are
having a miserable time.
They are installing CCP4 themselves (so that they get both WinCoot and refmac),
I presume using all the defaults. We also have it on classroom machines across
campus.
If they run WinCoot directly, then refmac doesn't work.
So what we do is tell them to launch a CCP4console, and type 'coot' in it. Then
refmac works most of the time, but not all. And for some, refmac will work for
a month or so, and then stop.
After that, our fallback is to teach them to launch CCP4i2, create a dummy
project, and launch Coot from there. That is clumsy, but very seldom fails. But
very occasionally even that fails.
Unfortunately I don't have very much in the way of debug information except for
screenshots I get sent. Does anyone have WinCoot and refmac running reliably
together please, or has anyone seen similar problems?
