Issue getting ANSICON working on Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit

I have been trying to get 1.50 or 1.40 ANSICON (https://github.com/adoxa/ansicon) working and have looked at sooooo many pages telling about how to install this: http://blog.mmediasys.com/2010/11/24/we-all-love-colors/ http://carol-nichols.com/2011/03/the-system-cannot-find-the-path-specified/

etc....

So, I have my AutoRun set to "C:\usr\bin\ansi140\x64\ansicon.exe" -p and I also testing 150 but there was zero change.

My entire team has this working with no issues but I cannot get this to work.. I still get the garbled junk on the command prompt:

  Scenario: Residential caller chooses to hear payment locations closest to home and there are 3 locations available which are in a 25 miles radius.?[90m #

Can anyone PLEASE help me try to understand why I am having this issue when the rest of my team with the same laptops are not having this issue?

EDIT from first comment:

I tried what you asked and ende dup with this tab setting:

    <tab title="ANSICON" icon="linux.ico" use_default_icon="0">
        <console shell="C:\usr\bin\ansi150\x64\ansicon.exe" init_dir="C:\usr\git_workspaces\d2" run_as_user="0" user=""/>
        <cursor style="0" r="255" g="255" b="255"/>
        <background type="0" r="0" g="0" b="0">
            <image file="" relative="0" extend="0" position="0">
                <tint opacity="0" r="0" g="0" b="0"/>
            </image>
        </background>
    </tab>

But the issue still persists

    ?[0m  ?[36m    <catch event="error">
    ?[0m  ?[36m        <submit next="/d2/exception/handleVoiceBrowserError.vxml" namelist="_event _message" />
    ?[0m  ?[36m    </catch>
    ?[0m  ?[36m
          ?[36m</vxml>?[0m
        ?[32mThen play the payment locations?[90m
                                                          # features/step_definitions/billing_steps.rb:360?[0m?[0m
        ?[32mThen caller hangs up the phone?[90m
                                                          # features/step_definitions/goodbye_steps.rb:1?[0m?[0m

    1 scenario (?[32m1 passed?[0m)
    32 steps (?[32m32 passed?[0m)
    0m10.302s

I also seem to have the term-ansicolor gem so this should be working

Using ansicon worked. Additionally, you may want to check out Console2 for an excellent multi-tabbed console.

  1. Extract ansi152/x64 into <console-install-dir>, say C:\Apps\Console
  2. Configure console to run with different shells, ie. powershell, cmd, gitbash
  3. Run ansicon -i from <console-install-dir>, in console.

PS. You may need to add console-install-dir into your $env:path.

To fix ansicon installation,

  1. Grab Console2, extract, to a folder, mine C:\Applications\.
  2. Extract files from ansi150.zip\x64, use 64-bit binaries, place it in a same folder with Console2.
  3. Open C:\Applications\Console2\Console.exe.
  4. From Console2 menu open File > Edit > Settings > Tabs, fill in Shell with C:\Applications\Console2\ansicon.exe, or browse to it. Click Ok.
  5. To apply changes reopen a Console2 tab.

My setup is Console-2.00b148-Beta_64bit.zip and ansi150.zip on Win 7 64-bit (without editing AutoRun registry).

I had this problem myself and I am finally seeing colored output. I followed these steps:

  1. Download "https://github.com/downloads/adoxa/ansicon/ansi150.zip"
  2. Copy the files under the "x64" directory to somewhere in your path.

    For example, you can copy them to "c:\windows\system32".

  3. Download "https://github.com/downloads/adoxa/ansicon/ansi6432.zip"

  4. Copy the files under the "x64" directory to the same location you used in step #2.

    This should overwrite ANSI32.DLL and ansicon.exe

  5. Install ansicon by typing "ansicon -I" at a command prompt

You should now see colored output.

Make sure to enable logging by setting the environment variable ANSICON_LOG:

set ANSICON_LOG=3

This should log output to %TEMP%\ansicon.log (Usually "c:\temp\ansicon.log")

I just found out that we need to set this:

set ANSICON_EXC=nvd3d9wrap.dll

(add it to a ansicon.bat file, or set an environment variable). Works like a champ with win64x pro, ansicon164
