eagle 5.0.0 - open with problem [Win Xp]

esilviu

as with an older beta version, windows can't correctly asociate .sch, .brd

or .lbr with eagle.exe.

"eagle" it's not listed in "Open with" list of applications, and it's not

added with "Browse" button.

 

Solved manually, with regedit:

-

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

 

@="\"C:
Program Files
Electro
EAGLE-5.0.0
bin
eagle.exe\" \"%1\""

-

 

after this, eagle is in "open with..." list

    The alternative is to open windows explorer, select Tools- folder options-

    file types.

     

    Now find your entry for brd - open it click on advanced option- select

    open and edit, then you CAN BROWSE to the eagle v 5 directory and change

    the default open program.

     

     

    tryied this ay too, and guess what?! :  it did'n work either.

    I can set-up the .sch to be opened with any other exe file, but not with

    eagle.exe. Windows seems not to accept eagle.exe in "open with" list.

    And all that I've changed in registry is

    @="\"C:
    Program Files
    Electro
    EAGLE-4.90
    bin
    eagle.exe\" \"%1\""

    with

    @="\"C:
    Program Files
    Electro
    EAGLE-5.0.0
    bin
    eagle.exe\" \"%1\""

     

     

    Eagle installer seems unable to update this key, and this key (wrong value)

    seems to block windows to assign ".sch"... to "eagle.exe"
