Yea, did all that.

Turns out there was some installer key remnant specifying that textpad gets installed to \program files (x86)\... Must have been left over from a 32bit install that never got cleared out correctly.

All is fine now, but certainly not a pleasant experience.

Crap -

Your installer is putting the x64 Textpad into \program files (x86)

You have *got* to fix this

I'm getting this when I try to upgrade to 7.4.0: Error 1303.The installer has insufficient privileges to access this directory: C:program FileslTextPad 7. The installation cannot continue. Log on as an administrator or contact your system administrator. This is via the Setup (Run as Admin) and the ...

My god this is idiotic. First of all, when you download the zip file, its got a setup file that's located in the Temp Internet folders, and you CAN'T run it correctly with UAC. So typically, I cancel the download, re-click and let the 304 not modified work (which you are supporting, correct???) so I ...

So I'm not sure of the internals of Textpad, but assuming its era of creation, it could be MFC.

Perhaps this would help:

Thanks...

So one of the new features listed in the TextPad 7 release notes is that 64bit redirection is disabled: 64-bit file system redirection is disabled so that files in 64-bit Windows folders can now be edited. However it doesn't seem to work. I placed a file called "THIS IS THE SYSWOW64 DIR.TXT" in the ...

That actually doesn't help. Intersestingly, if I switch the order of my first custom tool and my second (CSharp compile, CMD prompt) the tool bar switches user tool 4 and user tool 8, not on apply, but on OK. The other thing that's screwy is that several of the menu items are disabled, with no way ...

I'm having problems customizing the Textpad 5.4 Tools toolbar, and issues with adding custom tools to their own toolbar. I'm running Textpad on Vista (elevated/high, so no UAC issues) and right click the toolbar to show the Tools. The Tools toolbar has: Sort Compare Files Check Spelling View in Web ...

Why does everyone assume Textpad was re-written in .Net? Reflector indicates that TextPad.EXe has no CLI header, and Depends shows no dependancies on any of the MS VC runtimes (although they could be statically compiled...) Besides, with .Net, Unicode would have been a given - it would have been ...

As a kind of work around, I use a combination of Replace, Block Edit Mode, and Shift Tab. Highlight the block, S&R the text that you want moved (in your case, S&R '=>' to '........=>' (... = lots of spaces) Switch to Block edit mode (ctrl-shift-f8) Highlight where you want your first => down to the ...
