Local Transforms not working

[gilgamesh]

I can't get any Local Transforms to work, even something as simple as http://www.paterva.com/forum//index.php/topic,113.0.html

I always get:

Error parsing transform output. The received output is not valid:
ParseError at [row,col]:[1,1]
Message: Premature end of file.

Vista, Maltego 2.0.2, Java 1.6

Help!

Hi Gilgamesh,

That error is almost always because the transform settings are incorrect. Check the settings (executable directory and so on).

For example on the sample transforms on windows i use:

Command: e:\python25\python.exe
Command Parameters: sample.py
Working Directory: c:\sampleTransform\

Also test these settings, run the command with the parameters in the working directory and check that it works.

In my example it would be c:\sampleTransform> e:\python25\python.exe sample.py www.google.com

Hope this helps!

Thanks, got it working.

I think the problem was that I was using "c:\python26\python.exe -Wignore" (I needed to silence python warnings about some obsolete stuff)

Thanks again,
G
