Hello everybody,
I still can't get -icon to work in Ver.4.
Bind works ok but the icon doesn't change.
See previous posts for my commands.
In Environmental Variables I changed:
EURDIR=f:\euphoria
to
EURDIR=f:\euphoria40
Would this make any difference?
I notice EURDIR is used a lot in main.e
Also when I installed Ver4.0.0 Beta 2 (r2670)
It said, be should to read 'readme.html' and (it slips my mind now).html.
I couldn't find either of these files anywhere on my computer after installation.

no
I don't know about the icons, except they can't be too large. make sure you can use it with a short cut via the change icon button you can set the icon when you right click on a shortcut.
it's EUDIR
in eu4 you can put an eu.cfg file with the path in your HOME dir or in the current dir. the docs have a section on it. you can also give a -i includepath on the commandline to any of the executables. doesn't sound like this is the problem though. using the interpreter
It said, be should to read 'readme.html' and (it slips my mind now).html.

the readme about compiling is out of date and won't be any help anyway. the instalation should probably have at least a text version of the docs.

This does change the icon on the shortcut but not on .exe file.

To Derek et all,
In trying fo fix this problem I somehow changed the extention .exe in the Windows/Tools/Folder Options/File Types.
Never do this with the.exe extension because then none of the *.exe files in your computer will work.
The only soltion I found was to re-install WindowsXP.
Not to worry I read the read me before I installed version 4. It said to back up. I did.
I have two computers a ver. 3 computer and a ver. 4 computer.
This crated a lot of problems for ver. 4 computer such as intalling hard to find Video and Audio Drivers.
When I finish all this I'll get back to this problem.
It maybe a while. Mean time thanks to everybody who tried to help.

smart making a backup, too few take it to heart. BTDT, although it was with html for me. I forget where I got this:
save as xp_exe_fix.reg and double click on it. and all is well again. can probably search for it.

as a reg file, you know anything can happen, although I believe it should work.

Thank you n
The thing is I already formatted the drive. And re-installed XP.
The Video driver I download from HP and worked right away.
But Audio driver is on board and almost impossible to get.
I think Itel has it but I don't know where to begin to look.
It is an HP pavilion 503n. I think the only solution is to disable the on-board sound with the bios and install a new sound card.
Unless somebody knows how to get that sound driver.
