This extension is absolutely fantastic to work with. I had installation issues until I used the setup provided by Bruce Dodson & C++ redistribution packs. It works really fine. Thanks for you help. It was very infomative.Hats Off.

I can usually get it working but when I try to edit a system file (such as “hosts”) it doesn’t let me. I assume I need to ALWAYS run scite as administrator so I go into its properties and check that option. However, when right-click any file and open with SciTE it would give me: “Error creating process: wscitecm.dll needs to be in the same directory as SciTe.exe”. Any thoughts? I’m on Windows 7×64.

@ Daniel

I had the same errors bur it went away just by re installing the 2005 redistibutable service pack and then restarting.

Hope it works for you!

The errors

“Error in LoadLibrary(“wscitecm.dll”)-Application can’t be started because it’s configuration is incorrect, reinstalling application can fix the problem.”

and

“Generate Activation Context failed for C:\Program Files\Scintilla Text Editor\wscitecm.dll. Reference error message: The referenced assembly is not installed on your system.”

are resolved by installing Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Service Pack 1 (SP1).

I just wanted to say thank you for posting this code. I found it after barking up the wrong tree for days trying to do the same thing using managed code.

I did have a problem when compling – I got a file not found error when the mt.exe part of the build ran (it seems as if the .manifest file is missing. The dll was still created and it works so I’m not sure if it’s a big deal. I’m compiling using the VS 2010 beta on Windows 7 x64 if that explains anything.

André Burgaud : Did you try to install the extension in elevated mode? In the Vista Start Menu, find Command Prompt (cmd.exe), right click and select Run as administrator. In the command prompt window open in elevated mode, change to the directory that contains wscitecm.dll and execute: regsvr32 wscitecm.dll. I’m not sure this will solve this issue, but I would try it if you did not do it yet. -André-

That was exactly what solved my problem on Windows 7. The SciTE setup provided by Bruce Dodson just fails if shell extension is installed. So I tried to install this extension manually. If Command Prompt is not run as Administrator the following error appears: 0x80004005. So it would be fine if you add some comments about this problem in the Read Me.

Hi,

I’m having trouble compiling the DLL; and I think it’s because of the version of WIN32.MAK I’m using. Can you post the file with which you’ve successfully compiled this DLL, or let us know where I can download it? Thanks!

Hi, I can’t install the dll, for me appears this message:

Error in LoadLibrary(“wscitecm.dll”)-Application can’t be started because it’s configuration is incorrect, reinstalling application can fix the problem.

What can be the problem or solution?

My OS is Windows XP Service pack 3 (32 bits)

Thanks
