[M3devel] Fwd: [CM3] #1082: Windows NT

Wed Mar 10 16:35:29 CET 2010

Jay, the CMD files are conveniences I've found useful under Windows.
I can supply some .REG files that will allow you to integrate these into the Explorer shell so that you can start a cm3 command shell in any folder and you can start CM3IDE.
These CMD files ensure the environment is set up properly, including Visual C++.
I understand the use of %~dp0 ,  but I already have an optional command line argument to deal with different locations for cm3 installation.  Nevertheless, I can build in some more search capability in the cmd files if desired.  Perhaps using %~dp0 would be a good tactic; I'll look into adding it.
Regards,
Randy

%~dp0 is a cmd file's directory. If cmd and exe are next to each other, they can find each other. As well, what does the cmd do that it can't be done in the exe?

So, he will need to set an environment variable "set CM3_ROOT=E:\cm3" to let these scripts know where to find the cm3 installation. Alternately, cm3CommandShell can be invoked with the arguments "Root E:\cm3" to tell it where to find the installation.
