I hope someone can help. .btm files are assigned with tcc, but after updating to version 14, when I double-click on a btm-file in explorer, tcc opens, and the batch files is not run, instead it stops at the promt, in the right directoy. So - am I missing something ? It has worked without any problems in version 13, but after updating I got this strange effect.
Show us the result of echo assoc .btm: %@assoc[.btm] echo ftype: %@ftype[%@assoc[.btm]] and verify that the command displayed by the second echo is the correct version of TCC.EXE
Steve, thanks for your reply. The results of the two commands are: [D:\]echo assoc .btm: %@assoc[.btm] assoc .btm: btm_auto_file [D:\]echo ftype: %@ftype[%@assoc[.btm]] ftype: "C:\Program Files\JPSoft\TCMD14x64\tcc.exe" "" I checked with regedit the entry for btm_auto_file. btm_auto_file shell open command The entry under command is: "C:\Program Files\JPSoft\TCMD14x64\tcc.exe" "%1"
Neither look like mine (Win7/32). Did you let Windows create the "btm_auto_file" type? My association was created with the distributed TCCBATCH.BTM. That BTM file uses code like this: Code: echos Do you want to make TCC the default handler for .BTM files [Y/N] ? inkey /k"yn[enter]" %%var iff "%var" eq "y" then assoc .btm=TCC.Batch ftype TCC.Batch="%_cmdspec" /c "%%1" %%* endiff And my registry entries seem appropriate: Code: v:\> assoc .btm .btm=TCC.Batch v:\> ftype TCC.batch TCC.batch="G:\TC14\TCC.EXE" /c "%1" %*
Vince, I deleted all btm_auto_file entries, used tccbatch.btm, and at least the results of assoc .btm and the ftype command look like yours, except for the part to JPSoft. BUT - all it does, when I double-click on a .btm file ist to launch tcc, and then stops at the promt without callicg it. manually the calling file can be started, but that is about it ! I used the tcmd.ini file I had in version 13. If I use that, the prompt is in the directory, from where I call the .btm. It does the starting directoy, but it would neever call the .btm file.

ftype %assoc[.btm] reports TCC.Batch="C:\Program Files\JPSoft\TCMD14x64\TCC.EXE" /c "%1" %* When I double-click on a .btm file, tcm starts, with the tcc prompt, ending up in the right directory (from where I started the batch). but the batch itself is not started. Let windows assign the btm_auto_file has worked with all version prior to 14. Is there possibly something wrong with some entries in the settings or an ini file, which were transferred from the previous version during the installation ?
Ok - the problem has been resolved. After following all of your recommendations, I let Windows 7 again assign tcc to the .btm files, and VOILA - it works. The results of the two commands you asked me to type are: echo assoc .btm: %@assoc[.btm] assoc .btm: TCC.Batch echo ftype: %@ftype[%@assoc[.btm]] ftype: "C:\Program Files\JPSoft\TCMD14x64\TCC.EXE" /c "" Anyway, thanks for your help !!!!
