OpenURL() function under Windows

Hello,
OpenURL() does nothing on my Windows XP or Windows 7 machine. Does Windows require third-party components of some sort?

Here it is working with Windows XP SP3. It opens the domain in the defined "standard browser". Maybe in your case no browser is set as "default browser" so windows do not know what to do or where to open it.

I have problems on xp pro sp2 too with urlopen.
I made this workaround and it works even on win7.
("localhost" is th url)
Code: Select all
x=GetVersion()
If x.platform="Win32"
Run (ReplaceStr(ReadRegistryKey(#HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT,"http/shell/open/command/"),"%1","localhost"))
Else
OpenURL("localhost")
EndIf

OpenURL() is not really designed to handle URLs like "localhost". It expects http:// style URLs... if it really doesn't work with a http:// style URL, let me know

It seems that it isn't so trusty. Sometimes just don't work, but after a reboot it works again.
Can't see how I could be more helpful
(Of course changed to http:// style)

Hmm, strange. Is it clearly reproducable on your system? Then we could do some tests.

Unfortunately no. I don't use regularly windows, so can't help currently.
