X12 can't execute in Eviews 9.5

Hi Gareth and team

I had tried to execute a simple command in Eviews 9.5
seriesgdp.x12(mode = a) gdp

But got an error message that it was unable to excecute x12.exe for the above statement.

I did manage to run it in Eviews 8 only. When I tried it on Eviews 9.5, I received Error 1007d: Initialisation error - unable to reach package repository.

Would appreciate any help on this pls. Is there a patch we are supposed to install?


Thanks and rgds

Is there anything funky about your EViews installation?

Hi Gareth

I'm not sure what you mean by funky installation. I could try uninstalling and reinstalling. However, I would just like to chk that there isn't any additional steps to include the seasonal adjustment package into the repository?

I never had this issue with Eviews installations since Eviews 3.

Any help/guidance would be appreciated.

Error message generally occurs if EViews is installed in a non-standard location, of if the EViews ini path (Options->General Options->File Locations) is somewhere weird (network share etc...).

Or it is because of a bad installation.
