Hi Tikkanz,
Yes, the problem I see only exists with J7_64. I just downloaded and installed
new versions of J7_32 and J7_64 to make sure.
This is what I found;
JVERSION
Engine: j701/2011-01-10/11:25
Library: 7.01.033
Platform: Win 32
Installer: j701a_win.exe
InstallPath: c:/users/me/j32_j701c/j701
#Browser_j_
0
JVERSION
Engine: j701/2011-01-10/11:25
Library: 7.01.033
Platform: Win 64
Installer: j701a_win64.exe
InstallPath: c:/users/me/j64_j701c/j64-701
Browser_j_
44
Browser_j_
c:/program files/mozilla firefox/firefox.exe
My default browser is:
C:/Program Files (x86)/Mozilla Firefox/firefox.exe
So, the two versions of J7 have differing definitions of Browser_j_. The
default Browser_j_ from base.cfg used in J7_64 does not point to a valid exe
and
attempting to use it in fork_jtask_ does not result in any message indicating
what has happened.
If you want to continue to use fork_jtask_, this will protect J from errant
Browser settings:
stdlib.ijs
...
try. 1!:4 <Browser_j_ catch. Browser_j_=:'' end.
browser=. Browser_j_

Cheers,
David
