Re: [mh] Process_Item and email?

[David J M. <dm...@ci...>]

I tried to email it to Bruce last night.  It bounced because of the 8MB 
attachment, so I am going to put it on a Web site in the next few days.  As 
for the private code, that should be a non-issue with the MSI.  If you add a 
code file or INI file, that one will not be touched by repairs, upgrades, 
etc.  Same for new folders.

Anyway, it will be in the next release (and available to test soon) and I 
can post the project files if there is any call.  It is really just a way to 
make the bloated MS installer app copy all of the files into the right 
places.  It creates a couple of shortcuts and that is about it.  The Windows 
icon is fixed too.

I almost forgot.  There is a new Windows app that launches the mh.bat file 
(after making sure it is in the right folder.)  Believe it or not, there was 
no way around it.  The stupid Visual Installer application does not expose 
the startup folder for the shortcuts it creates.  Really.  I never had to 
set this for my Windows apps as they don't care what folder they start in. 
The mh batch file definitely cares and so does the executable.  It has been 
about 20 years since I wrote my last batch file.  Isn't there some way to do 
change to directory that the batch is in?  Seems to me there is.
