[Therion] Wish Application and Windows 7

[Bruce]

A couple of years ago I stumbled on the "Wish Application" that installs
with Therion, and its behaviour, that is to open the XTherion editor in the
correct mode as described in
http://therion.speleo.sk/wiki/doku.php?id=windows 

 

I'm not sure if this feature is part of the therion package 'by design' or
'by accident', but it has always worked for me with Windows XP.

 

Yesterday I tried to implement it on a Windows 7 OS and was thwarted always
by an error dialog that suggested Windows 7 was trying to interpret the
thconfig-*.* file as a script to be executed.  The error message was along
the lines of 'encoding  utf-8 bad command on line 1, expecting etc etc .' 

 

I could not figure out what application was trying to run the file as a
script, and the XP compatibility feature did not seem to offer a likely
solution.

 

Can anyone offer any advice as to whether I should be using the 'Wish
Application' in this way or of a likely resolution to the problem I'm having
running it in Windows 7?

 

Regards

Bruce
