Hi Paul, For some reason I thought I pushed a fix for this already. The problem is that Windows 64 has both "Program files" and "Program files (x86)" but the shell32 API errors out on Windows 32 if you try to look up the second program files directory. The error handler was also wrong, reporting a COM error where there is none.
Scite and gvim should work again. The supported Windows text editor that everybody already has is Wordpad because Notepad can't handle the Unix line breaks. I'm adding Notepad anyway, but it might not be useful for a lot of files. Doug On Jan 16, 2009, at 10:59 AM, Paul Moore wrote: > I'm having trouble getting editor integration working.
