[Therion] Therion breaks Cygwin/Tcl

[roger at r-schuster.de]

Hi,


I had the chance to lay hands on a brand new computer on which Therion, Cygwin or Tcl never were installed. I put now Therion 0.5.1 on it.

You are right: The Therion installer does not create this registry key. But I am also right. :-) After starting Xtherion by clicking on a *.th or *.th2 file this key appears in the registry. Obviously the Tcl interpreter  itself modifies the registry.


Roger

Hmmm, sounds strange - therion installer should never overwrite this registry.
(see p.s.). If you install therion once again - is this key again overwritten?

Regards, S.

P.S. Here isthe registry section of our ISS script. This Key is not touched by
therion installation script.
