Hello Dave,

I have just give it a try with Graphviz 2.44.1 and it is working on my computer (see the attached screenshot).

Could you please execute the following command 

C:\Graphviz_2.44.1\bin>dot.exe -T?

and paste a screenshot about the result?

Hi Tamás - As you requested:

c:\>"C:\Program Files\Graphviz 2.44.1\bin\dot" -T?
Format: "?" not recognized. Use one of:

Note no formats are listed...

Hi Dave,

It seems that it is a Graphviz problem and not a GEF DOT problem. There could be a problem with your Graphviz 2.44.1 installation/configuration (e.g the "C:\Graphviz_2.44.1\bin\config6" file is missing).

Could you please ask that on the Graphviz forum / create a corresponding issue on the Graphviz issue tracker?

https://forum.graphviz.org/

I hope they can help you.

Since it is likely a Graphviz problem rather than GEF DOT problem, resolving as fixed in 5.3.2 (2020-12).
