Mortscript....duh !!

[bennyk]

Hi All

I'm sure someone will be able to tell me what I am doing wrong

I have loaded Mortscript on to my E650 and have copied a script from this site and saved it as wireless.mscr

When I run the file from Windows explorer - it opens the file in Word on my E650 and does nothing.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Uninstall Mortscript and then reinstall it. I guess it's a matter of file association in the registry.

[bennyk]

Thanks....have tried that and it still does not work.

Any other ideas?

You must run once the mortscript's executable to create the associations with the mscr files.

yep, ran the yellow file that was located in the \program files\mortscript folder. It gave me a message to say the file associations has been made yet the docs still open in Word !!

AAAARRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!

Try deleting the key at HKCR\.mscr...then opening mortscript.exe Then try to open your script. It deletes the file assc.

Thanks...where would I find the HKCR\.mscr Does that involve editing the registry as have never done it before

[saenzjoseph]

Yes this is a registry key. You will need a registry editor Total commander (http://www.ghisler.com/ce.htm) has a free one. Then just navigate to HKey_Classes_Root(hkcr) and locate the folder .mscr open it and delete the key in there..

In order to locate and edit the registry in total commander tap the / in the top right corner of the screen right next to the .. Then double tap on the \\ then double tap on Registry then HKCR then .mscr and delete the key labeled default ,or you could just double tap on it and then in the box provided type MortScript

Thanks,
have done as suggested, removed the keys, have removed and reloaded Mortscript. Rebooted phone....and they still open with Word Mobile !!!

Jeez - can it be so hard !!!

When you open that key what does it say.... when you open word go to menu and options and in display....click on word files, i dont think that will work but its worth a try

Hi, Thanks for your help so far

My word seems to be an editor only - as dont have any options to select.

hi

Am getting somewhere now...turns out the file was named wireless.mscr.txt so have edited it to reflect the proper extension. Will try again now

Thanks again

[saenzjoseph]

well that makes a lot more sense...since the actual ext that you are opening is a txt. just drop the .txt

It's probably far more simple: You script has the wrong extension. It must be .mscr, not .psw, .doc or .txt. The default Explorer hides the extension, so your file's pobably named "somescript.mscr.psw" (or *.doc) but is shown only as "somescript.mscr". Use an explorer replacement like Total Commander or Resco, or the desktop's Explorer ("My mobile device") with "Hide extension for known documents" disabled in the options, and you'll see the wrong extension.
