New SDK version....

<< < (2/3) > >>

Pelle:
It's a bug when it's not working as intended - since it's based on undocumented interfaces, the intent can never be that it should work all the time.

If I were interested, I could download the SDK - but I'm not. As I said, I might order the CD later.

What they appeared to do was change the way it's called up ...

"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\help\dexplore.exe" /helpcol ms-help://MS.PSDKSVR2003SP1.1033

Notice the new version specifies SP1 in the command line.  

But, I understand why you wouldn't want to version chase the thing.  It would eventually become a real pain having to detect versions in an undocumented setup.  (And, fwiw, yours is the only IDE I've seen that can even load the thing... so it's hardly expected behaviour)

@Pelle
i also suffer from these fixed string used to call the help file,
because i've installed the MSDN Library version, which is called
by the string "ms-help://MS.MSDNQTR.2003FEB.1031"

would it be possible and not too much expense to implement
a variable for this text ?
at least stored in the registry where one can change it accordingly to the local install circumstances.

thanks, tiwag

Actually if you look in the registry at

HKLM\software\microsoft\MSDN\<version>\help
or
HKCU\software\microsoft\msdn\<version>\help

You will find the callup command stored there.

Perhaps Pelle could have POIDE look there, on startup, to locate the correct version and filenames

Perhaps this isn't worth the expense.
A registry entry is absolutely sufficient,
if there exists a special help-prefix-string in the registry,
then POIDE uses this otherwise it behaves like it's implemented
till now with a standard prefix string.
This is simple, doesn't need much work to implement and every user
which isn't satisfied with the standard behaviour is able to customize it
for his needs, even when one has installed several PSDK's in parallel.

I will look at this later and decide what to do about it. Right now is not a good time.
