JTAG Loader tools won't execute

I just wanted to try the JTAG Loader tools provided with PicoBlaze and
I cannot run neither hex2svf.exe, nor hex2svfsetup.exe. I get "The
system cannot execute the specified program" message in the Windows XP
Command Prompt. Am I missing something here? Has anybody been able to
run these tools and program the instruction ROM via JTAG?

Thanks,

Hmmm, no mention of required libraries in the user guide. Do these
tools need Xilinx ISE? I have 9.1SP3 webpack installed.

you can always use "showdep" to see why winxp programs dont start

google "windows showdep" .... first hit,or direct

Thanks for your help. In the mean time I discovered that the long
directory path of the executable was the culprit. Relocated it closer
to the root and voila, it works.

Sorry, I have one more question. Have you used pBlazIDE to write the
code for PicoBlaze and, if yes, have you been able to get pBlazIDE to
generate the hex file you need for JTAG Loader?
