Livecode file association

Post by MaxV » Fri Jun 28, 2013 1:28 pm

I updated livecode, it automatically installed 6.0.2 but it doesn't uninstalled 6.0.1.
I noticed that clicking on livecode scripts my WinXp still used the old 6.0.1 version.
So I decided to uninstall 6.0.1, but I lost file association :-( .
I remember that Livecode has a tool to add file association in windows, how can I activate that tool?

Hi Max,
I forget exactly in Win Xp but i don't think it's changed much.
Control Panel>Programs>Default Programs> Set Associations.
All done in Windows not LC.

That way doesn't work, I get "not a valid win32 application". :-(
Livecode has a wizard tool to associate .livecode files to its program, how can I launch it?
It's a starting check, that I disabled time ago :-( (shame on me, shame on me)

SOLVED
the problem is LiveCode binary name, it contains a space!
The original name is: "LiveCode Community.exe"
I copied it and renamed it: "Livecode.exe"
association with this binary is OK.
