I paid for the binder.
Redownloaded e25setup.exe
And when I try to bind a .exw file using Mike's editor I get "Can't open
Binder"

Correction:
That should be "Can't open bind.ex"

In 2.5, bind.ex no longer exists.
The 2.5 binder/shrouder is a totally new program, that
has many differences from the old binder. It's also much
better in many ways than the old binder.
Mike's editor is probably set up for the old (2.4 and earlier) binder.
To use the new binder, you just have to install the 2.5 free version
of Euphoria, then add the following (registered) files to your
euphoria\bin:
bind.il the binder (shrouded)
bind.bat for binding DOS programs
bindw.bat for binding Windows programs
shroud.bat for shrouding (DOS or Windows)
euphoria.ico sample icon file
You'll have to run the binder outside of your editor,
until you find an editor that supports 2.5 binding.
e.g. in a command prompt window:
bindw myfile.exw
See also the docs for bind at:
http://www.rapideuphoria.com/bind.htm
or in your euphoria\html directory.

I'm sure you're right on this.

When you upgraded, you should have automatically received
instructions via e-mail for downloading a .zip file (for Windows/DOS).
The .zip file contains the above files, which should all be
added to euphoria\bin (for 2.5).
In case you didn't get the e-mail, I've sent it again.
BTW, thanks for upgrading.

I finally got those files via e-mail. Thank you Robert.

Is Edita one of those?

This works (again thanks) but also is alot of trouble I prefer to do it
from an Editor that I can associate with my eu files, any suggestions?

Yes. I see Edita has a nice GUI interface for 2.5 binding/shrouding,
(though I just did a quick test and it didn't produce a bound .exe
or any error message).

I don't have registered 2.5 so if there is a problem maybe someone can
debug it for me. I have had one report of it working fine.
Some notes:
The code to look at is in eabind.ew (total 363 lines).
You can probably ignore the code in routine Bind() (it looks for a
special comment on line1 or 2 and sets defaults from it).
The actual command line is (repeatedly) built by setCmdLine(), shown
on-screen in the CmdTxt field, and executed by the line:
void=system_exec(getText(CmdTxt), 2)
Actually, Rob, was there anything obviously wrong with the command
line it was executing? Should I be looking for anything other than a
result of -1 from system_exec in this case? It might be something I
never quite understood: I found I had to use "exw.exe bind.ex -w32 "
rather than "bindw" on 2.4.

It seemed to be forming the correct command line as I selected
various options.

I think for binding/shrouding you might as well use system()
rather than system_exec(), and don't worry about the exit code.
The binder can display an error message and wait for the user
to hit a key.

In the docs for system_exec() it says:
"Comments: On DOS32 or WIN32, system_exec() will only run .exe and .com
programs. To run .bat files, or built-in DOS commands, you need system()."
bindw is actually bindw.bat
This is all due to a limitation of DOS/Windows. It's not
something I added to the Euphoria interpreter.

Hi,
I just tested binding an Eu 2.5 program in Edita 0.2.4. It worked fine -- no
problems.

Hello Pete,
I just installed 2.5 and Edita. It took me a little while to get all the bugs
out. But now all seems to be binding fine with Edita.\
