True.

Yep.

However, getting back to the OPs problem.  He states that he cannot post
a screen shot of the problem.  I say that he can and should in order to
get help.  The law may say that the screen shot is outside of fair use,
only if he signed a NDA for the program.  The OP has not came back and
said if this is true.  If he signed a NDA then there is nothing we can
do other than ask for terminal output and what happened in verbal
terms.  Without the program, we cannot provide additional
troubleshooting, either.
