Another program tries to invoke TextPad internally with the command

"C:\Programme\Textpad 5\System\DDEOPN32.EXE" TextPad %s(%d)

which fails with

Code: Select all

Cannot find key 'TextPad\shell\open\ddeexec\application' in registration database (error 2)"

Now, the interesting thing is there is no such key in the registry but there is one for Textpad.dde. Could it be that TextPad is in error here? This is my first ever installation of TextPad, so remnants from earlier versions cannot be blamed for this. Thanks.[/code]

I ran into this same problem when porting my tool setup to Textpad 5.
The DDE open target has changed to "textpad.dde"
Use this:

Code: Select all

"C:\Programme\Textpad 5\System\DDEOPN32.EXE" TextPad.dde %s(%d)
