Can you run the installation again and send me the output of the install. There is the details window that shows the output of the install. After clicking the "Install" button, on the next page, all the files are installed. When that finishes, before clicking the next button, copy all the text in details window, paste it into a file, and send me the file as an attachment. Just send it to my g-mail account, or open a bug and attach the file to the bug. > In addition "PATHEXT" does not show ".rex" as one of the extensions Windows > should probe when searching for executable files.

If it is not checked, no file association will be created. This could be your problem, the check box has to be checked. If the current installed ooRexx is 4.1.0 or later, the default settings will be whatever the last install was. I.e., if in the previous install, no file association was created, this check box will not be checked, and you would need to check the check box to create the file association in the current install. > On the next screen (Associate a file extension with rexxhide.exe and /or > rexxpaws.exe), leaving everything alone (unchecked boxes) > install completes without errors/warnings. If you finish the install, with none of the check boxes checked, no file association will be created and the editor setting is of course not done.
