    Hi,

    I get the above message when I try to run openctags from EditPlus with a custom tool. Is there some sort of environment variable that needs to be set for OpenCTags to find EditPlus install directory?

      Hello,
      I suppose that you configured your command line like this : $(CurWord) -e editplus -sel $(CurSel) -f $(FilePath) -l $(CurLine).

      OpenCTags search for editplus the following registry key to find the install path : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\UEDIT32.exe\Path
      You may try to create this registry key and see wat happens.

      You must also know that the last version of EditPlus that I've tested, was 2.12

        I made a mistake in my post, the registry entry for EditPlus is : HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\ES-Computing\EditPlus 2\Install\Path
        Obviously, the other one is used for UltraEdit.

      I am having the same problem using the beta version of Crimson Editor (3.72).  It installs into a different directory than the original Crimson Editor so my best guess is that there is a hardcoded path in OpenCTags.

      Is it possible that this could be in an editable configuration file?  Or am I wrong about it being hardcoded and it is looking somewhere else?

      Thank you.

        For Crimson Editor, the install path is obtained from the registry entry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Crimson System\Crimson Editor\InstallDir
        Waiting for a future version of OpenCTags you can modify this registry entry to point to the right path of cedt.exe

        Regards
