Just make sure (if you have
several versions installed) that the executable you want to launch by
default is the first one of that name in the PATH.
Then you'd have to change the PATH variable after each update.
Only after each major or minor version update. Not after patchlevel
updates within a version. Version 7.2.0 was released on 2008-08-09, the
latest patchlevel is 7.2.411 (2010-03-23), they both use a VIMRUNTIME
directory whose last element is vim72. Vim 7.3 is only just now being
talked about, but no ETA has been set yet AFAIK.
Anyway, my suggestion to use an editor.bat script makes it possible to
quickly switch editor without having to change any file associations
-- in case you'd decide to switch to emacs one day
No thanks. Five minutes was enough for me to understand that Emacs would
be forever foreign to me. Notepad I can use if I have to, Vim I really
like, Emacs I can't use at all.
(and back
again :-). This is equivalent to setting the EDITOR environment
variable on other OS's and then tell apps to open your text files with
$EDITOR but using environment variables doesn't always work out that
well under windows.
Best regards,
Tony.
