Livecode on windows 7 ultimate?
Hi, I am trying to get my livecode to work on my newer laptop vs my old standby.
On the first run (and every attempt thereafter) when I try to start livecode, it starts up, flashes the message that .livecode and .rev extensions are not registered and then disappears out of memory.
Does anyone have any idea of what may be happening?

Re: Livecode on windows 7 ultimate?
Hi guys,
I do not have this problem, but only because I NEVER doubleclick a Livecode or Rev file.
I always use the "Open" dialog.
But if I remember right, this is a known bug and also happens on my XP installation.

Re: Livecode on windows 7 ultimate?
When Livecode starts up the first time, you should get a dialog box asking if you want to associate LiveCode files with the extensions .rev and .livecode.
clicking yes works for me on 64 bit Windows 7...
I have had problems with this in the past...
cheers

Hi Paul,
You should be able to re-set the association by the following actions.
1. Find a .rev file.
2. Right click on it.
3. From the menu, select 'Choose Program'
4. Browse until you find the LIveCode app and select.
5 Tick the box 'Always use the selected program to open this kind of file'
Then repeat for .livecode
Job done.

Re: Livecode on windows 7 ultimate?
Hi!
Andy, that suggestion fails for me. I select LiveCode.exe and click Open, but it never appears in the selection of applications to associate with either the .livecode or .rev file extensions.
Also, I have never been asked during installation (the last 5 or so versions) to make the association either.
Best, Walt

Re: Livecode on windows 7 ultimate?
Walt, LiveCode.exe is not a .rev file. Find a file with a .rev extension, then try Andy's suggestion. If LiveCode doesn't appear on the list of applications, you can browse for it.

Re: Livecode on windows 7 ultimate?
No Luisa. I DID select a .rev file, in the associations it asks which EXE do you want to associate WITH the previously selected file extension.

Re: Livecode on windows 7 ultimate?
In the associations, where it asks you which EXE you want to associate WITH the previously selected file extension, is there a BROWSE button?
Re: Livecode on windows 7 ultimate?
Hi Walt,
I'm guessing that when you browse for the LiveCode application ou are looking in the Programs folder and not finding the LiveCode.exe there?
Try browsing under yor profile then AppData > Roaming > Runev > Components > then your LiveCode version folder. You will find it there.
If you are not sure of the path put this into a button:
on mouseUp
set the defaultFolder to specialFolderPath("engine")
put defaultFolder into theFolderName
answer theFolderName
end mouseUp
This is the result on my computer:
C:/Users/Andy/AppData/Roaming/RunRev/Components/LiveCode 4.6.3

Re: Livecode on windows 7 ultimate?
you probably simply need to run LC as admin once. because that dialog tries to access the registry, and that might throw up one of the many overzealous security functions of win7.

Re: Livecode on windows 7 ultimate?
If that doesn't work I was having issues with associations as well.

You can edit those .reg files if you need to before exeuting them.

In Win7, go to Start->Default Programs->Associate a file type or protocol with a program.
