Version 1.3 for Vista

• Mar 20, 2014 - 22:07

I downloaded vsn 1.3 for Windows Vista.
If I open MuseScore in VISTA then select an MXL file the file opens correctly.
But if I try to open the MXL and "Browse" to MuseScore\bin\mscore MuseScore doesn't open and is not added to list of files.

However, if I install the SAME "Vista" version of Musescore on a Windows 7 computer "open with" works correctly. It appears that selecting the Vista version actually downloads the Windows 7 version.

Do you have a solution please?

PS. I love your programe

As far as I know there is no Windows 7 versus Vista version - there is one Windows version for all variations.

What you are describing appears to me a difference in how your Windows systems are configured. Even though I have used Windows for decades (!), I'm still not enough of a guru to say what might be going wrong.

1) mxl does not appear in Control Panel - Default Programs - Set Association list

2) MXL Openwithlist item C is mscore.exe

3) HKCR MLX default is reg_sz mxl_auto_file

4) mxl_auto_file correctly points to mscore but OPEN incorrectly points to MusicNotes.
Apparently MuseScore installation didn't change this.
Will try to edit registry

I bought upgrade to Win 7 over two years ago but there was a problem with "Services"
Seems Acer inadvertently installed an unused Service which didn't affect Vista.
However, Win 7 upgrade finds this service and tries to install it in Win 7 resulting in BSOD.
I lost the fix that was posted for this and Google can't find it!
