TCC in WT, XDIR, Ctrl-E(dit) - the handle is invalid

[vefatica]

Not reproducible here. Anything unusual (attributes, permissions, etc.) about that file?

 

[vefatica]

No. It happens with any file.

 

[vefatica]

It has something to do with WT/TCC being elevated. It's OK in WT/TCC unelevated and it's OK in TCMD/TCC elevated!

 

[rconn]

Does it happen in v35?

 

[rconn]

I cannot reproduce it with WT elevated & TCC v36.

 

[vefatica]

The first of these works in TCC/WT elevated. The second does nothing.

v:\> d:\tc36\tcedit.exe v:\apppaths.btm

v:\> tcedit v:\apppaths.btm

 

[rconn]

That's not reproducible here either.

TCEDIT is partially an internal command and partially an external command. When you run TCEDIT from the command line, it goes to the internal command, gets the path of the TCC session and appends "\tcedit.exe", and then executes it.

The reason for doing it internally is so TCEDIT can do things like edit the CLIPn: or TMPn: pseudo devices, edit files on internet URLs, support directory aliases, edit TCMD.INI / TCSTART / TCEXIT (without you having to know where they are),

So there's really no way that can go bad unless you're doing something very naughty, like running TCC from a different directory than where TCEDIT.EXE is located, or disabling the TCEDIT internal command, or aliasing it away, or mangling the command line in a plugin or a PRE_EXEC alias.

It's like I said before. I'm not doing any of those naughty things. I don't know what to do next.

 

[vefatica]

Yes, it works in v35.

What about registration? When I try to register TCC or TCMD, elevated or unelevated, with a key dated 04/12 I get a message box with [10013] Access Denied. When I enter the key and press "Show License Info" it looks OK on quicklicensemanager.com.

This is the first I've heard about a registration problem. Please don't post registration questions / details here; send it to [email protected].

Try it with build 35 (already uploaded). I have added more error checking & error messages to the TCEDIT startup code.

 

[vefatica]

It's working now (build 35) in WT elevated (where it wasn't working before). I get no error or debug messages. It just works, Ctrl-E in XDIR and TCEDIT at the command line.
