Hi Danny, this is my main reason to create this app. I wish to make a kind of Samples Explorer to manage all samples of different HMG version installed. Imagine to open in IDE according HMG version, open samples folder, build the demo, run the demo and all by selecting in which version you are... not need to rename any path, only mention the appropriated path.

Other versions:

<Drive:>hmg3046
<Drive:>hmg314
<Drive:>hmg313

You have renamed paths in your HMG installations. So, in the first column, how is displaying for you the HMG version ? Is it quite the same in the image posted in my first message ?

Then if I needed to compile in HMG 3046 I will rename the <Drive:>\hmg to <Drive:>\hmg315 and rename <Drive:>\hmg3046 to <Drive:>\hmg

Manually renaming is also good, my preferred lazy butt solution.

With SExplorer app that I will make, anyone will be able to build accordingly the right version without renaming paths...

Thanks for your your bring your ideas.

Muy buena la aplicación.

Paul, on my pc, besides for version 3.1.5, I have also installed the 2.9.4 version, and the latter is not recognized.

It's just as informative.

Very good application.

Gracias Fernando por tu información. La versión 2.9.4 en su instalación, no debe haber inserido alguna propiedades en el registro del Windows. Voy instalar esa version y voy a verificar el lunes.
Otra cosa, este aplicativo, verifica la versión instalada en el Windows. Es decir, lo que se registró en el Windows en su instalación. Pero si copiamos la carpeta del HMG directamente en nuestro disco, no será detectado porque no estará registrado en el Windows. Y si se instala el HMG normalmente através del programa de instalación, es decir registrando normalmente en el Windows y después la carpeta del HMG es renombrada, no irá ser detectado. Eso porque verifica primeramente lo que fué registrado en el Windows y después verifica si el path registrado realmente existe. Es decir, todo esto irá funcionar normal si las instalaciones del HMG son hecha de forma convencional através de la instalación que acompaña el HMG.

Thank you Fernando for your information. The 2.9.4 version during it installation, there must have not inserted some properties in the Windows registry. I will install on my pc this version and check on Monday.
Another thing, this application, checks the version installed on Windows. I means, what is recorded in the Windows installation. But if you copy the folder directly in our disk HMG will not be detected because it is not registered with the installed path on Windows. And if you install the HMG normally using the installation program, ie normally registering at Windows and then the HMG folder is renamed, it will be NOT detected. Because the first checks what it was registered at Windows and then checks if the path registered is actually exists. In other words, all this will works normally if HMG are installed conventionally made trough executable installer which accompaning the HMG.

Hi Pablo,

You have renamed paths in your HMG installations. So, in the first column, how is displaying for you the HMG version ? Is it quite the same in the image posted in my first message ?

The image attached shows how it looks in my all c:\hmg installations (as expected they all look c:\hmg). Like this kind of installation, the desktop shortcut is always pointing on the same file and location and executes HMG-IDE blindly.

I did this kind of installation since HMG 2.x to avoid the nuisance of copying the include and libs to the new hmg version directory. Running the HMG uninstall kept all my includes and lib files intact on c:\hmg\inlcude and on c:\hmg\lib. During rebuilding of libs, the batch files place them on that very same folder. This trick is still works fine with HMG 3.1.5. In the end each installation folders contains my own includes and libs rebuilt for that HMG specific version. Truly unconventional, maybe, but Hb and HMG is so simple that it works that way without a mess. Yet still true is the freedom of Clipper still obviously lives with HMG and Hb.

Regards,

Danny

Hi Dany, thank you for yopur reply. Now I understand your logic, and when you said to rename ones in case. Very simple, very logic and very functional.

I use to keep in different path, because I still wish to differantiate between 3.0.35, 3.0.46 and the newest version of HMG.

accompaning the HMG.

Gracias Pablo por responder.

Efectivamente lo que hice es eso que tu dices, instalar HMG 2.9.4 y luego renombrar la carpeta, es por ello que entonces no detecta la versión.

Nuevamente muchas gracias.

--------------------------------
Thanks Paul for replying.

Indeed what I did is that you say, HMG install 2.9.4 and then rename the folder, which is why then does not detect the version.

Again thank you very much.

Ahh gracias Fernando por esclarecernos. Yo ya estaba dispuesto a verificar las versiones 2.x que talvez podria tener algunas propiedades faltantes o con diferente nombres.
Si quieres hacer una prueba, inutilizas dejandolo como comentario, la linea 29 en If HB_DirExists(cReg2) del demo3.prg para que pueda listarlos mismo no estando en el path registrado.

Cómico: Me gustó ver mi nombre traducido en ingles... jajajaja

Ahh thanks Fernando to clarify. I was willing to verify the 2.x versions that maybe could have some different properties or some names missing.
If you want to test, block the line 29 (as a comments) in If HB_DirExists (cReg2) at demo3.prg so then it will be listed anyway even not being with same path as registered.

Improving example:

: Screen.PNG (22.6 KiB) Viewed 5765 times

Test it and see how many HMG installations you have in your PC. I hope you enjoy !

Posted: **Thu Jul 17, 2014 7:22 pm**

I kindly ask you to test in your PC this executable file (is in my last message) and post here you screen capture image of the result, just to get and know several samples of HMG installation. I will appreciated your cooperations.

I intend to reassume SExplorer project to facilitate the location of the demos in different versions installed.

Thanks in advanced.

Fixed !

This it was happing because now there is new registry function in HMG lib. So I cutted of Registry.c and now you can compile.

<Source codes and executable files were removed because there is a updated version ahead of this topic>

Thank you to report compiling error.
