I just installed 1.70 and also had to install the VS2015 redistrbutable. When I try to define my custom application (using Edit > Preferences > Applications), in my case trying Notepad++, I get an error message about "Unable to start C:/Program Files (x86)/Notepad++/notepad++.exe", "Please check the application path and parameters are correct". I've tried this on two different computers and have had the same result. Also tried to use notepad2.exe in a different directory but have the same result. Both systems are Windows 7. Any suggestions?
For me using UltraEdit works (on Windows 7), my settings:
Name: UltraEdit
Executable: "C:\Program Files (x86)\IDM Computer Solutions\UltraEdit\Uedit32.exe"
Parameters: (file)/(line)
How the parameters must be set depends on how the editor expects them.
What exactly have you entered in the application dialog? Is the string for the executable surrounded by quotation marks (")?
Ah! Thank you. Once I surrounded the executable in quotation marks it worked perfect! I had just been using the "Browse" button on the window to locate the executable and it never wrapped it in quotation marks.
