@geertemo thanks for reporting this. Komodo IDE is free now so you can use that if you like.

I'll push a fix for this in a nightly tomorrow when the build is ready: https://github.com/Komodo/KomodoEdit/commit/6e38234d05debe8f5e93500331b145fbf88df105

@th3coop I see you made changes to the code and you said to "push for a fix in the nightly tomorrow", but the msi I downloaded today still gives the error. Can you give me an estimatie when the fixed msi will be available on the download page?

th3coop commented 4 years ago

Not sure what you downloaded but the nightlies are here: http://downloads.activestate.com/Komodo/nightly/komodoedit/latest-12.0.x/

Is that what you downloaded? If not, give that a try.

I am just a humble user ;-) , so I downloaded from https://www.activestate.com/products/komodo-ide/downloads/edit/ (version 12.0.0, today still the current, not upgradable version)

Installation via the nightly link you provided worked like a charm. Thanks! Will I be able to update this version with regular updates via the "Check for updates..." option in the menu, or do I have to reinstall the program when 12.0.1 becomes available on the download page?

As for "Komodo IDE is free now so you can use that if you like" : I just use Komodo as an intelligent (and very nice!) editor for PHP, JS, CSS, (HTML, XML, JSON, (XUL)). As a result I think I use not even half of the functionality of Komodo Edit. Using Komodo IDE would only widen the percentage of functionality I do not use, so as long as Edit is available I am not tempted to switch over to IDE :-)

Best regards, Geert-Emo

@geertemo, glad that worked for you!

When 12.0.1 is officially release you will be prompted to updated to it. If we release new nightlies you will also be prompted to update to those.
