This section describes some of the most common problems that can occur during installation or configuration of LispWorks for Windows.
Modify private-patches\load.lisp
only via the menu command
Help > Install Private Patches...
If your LispWorks installation is in the %ProgramFiles%
folder and you edit private-patches\load.lisp
directly, then Windows starts to use a redirected private copy of load.lisp
.
Help > Install Private Patches...
will not update this copy, and thus your new patches will not be loaded.
If this occurs, the solution is to delete the redirected copy of load.lisp
from your user profile space. On Windows 8 the location is like this:
C:\Users\lw\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\LispWorks\lib\7-1-0-0\private-patches\
