Hi gang,
View and V do not work in new 13.04.52 x64 installation

TCC Build 52 Windows 7 Build 7601 Service Pack 1

I just upgraded TCmd to v13 and had some issues. I was reading the Prompt Solution about the new View command and I also saw a coupon code for a $39 upgrade. Unfortunately the coupon code did not work after several tries, but I don't reallly mind paying $49. I installed v13.04 along side my existiing installation (as I've done in other upgrades). My old installation folder is C:\TC and my new folder was C:\TC13. I like the short names right off the root directory. I installed the shareware download and did not apply the registration code yet. I wanted to install it on a USB thumb drive first, then install it on my laptop hard drive where I do most of my work. I plugged in the thumb drive and checked that the ithumb drive was identified correctly as a removable drive using echo %@removable[H:] and it returned a 1. I also tried the VIEW command to view my alias file. It didn't work. I tried the V command to view the file. Nothing. No new window, no new tabs. I tried running the v.exe file using .\v.exe filename from the C:\TC13 folder where it was installed. Nothing. And I tried .\v.exe with no filename parameter. Nothing. I thought perhaps V is tied to the licensed distribution.
I uninstalled TCmd v13.04 using the Add / Remove Program from Windows 7 professional and it uninstalled. I left this dialog open so I could see the list of programs installed. I checked the C:\TC13 folder and found all program files removed, leaving only my alias and history and TCSTART.btm file that I had copied. Excellent, as expected. Then I installed TCmd on my removable thumb drive in folder H:\TC and it installed and I clicked the Register button on the startup, and typed in my registration information. I did not specify a desktop or a menu shortcut, because I intended to installl it on hard drive too. That worked. But checking the Add Program window, I could see the TCmd 13.04 was installed.
From the TCmd window, I tried the View and V commands unsuccessfully, with either an existing filename parameter or without. Nothing. Then I tried clicking the V on the toolbar and was gratified to see an open file dialog window titled VIEW. But selecting a file to view did nothing. No window and no new tab window. TYPE and LIST worked on the sample test file, but VIEW and V did not.
Next I tried installing the same installation file on hard drive on the C:\TC13 folder, and the installation said that it was installed, and I could repair it or remove TCmd. That was disappointing. I stopped the installation and after a couple of attempts, I tried Repair and found that it did install in C:\Program Files\JPSoft\TCMD13x64. My USB installation seems to have worked, and I was able to installed TCmd v13 on hard drive, but in the wrong folder. I like a short folder name that I can type quickly.
But View and V do not work.
thanks,
Steve
