pcsoft.us.windevCopyright 2026, PC SOFT25 Jan 2015 06:12:00 Z23 Jan 2015 05:21:00 ZHello All A client has a cloud server running Windows Server 2008 R2 On that server the Windev shellexecute() commands for everything except passing a url work as expected and everything works on 2008 R1. On 2008 R2 shellexecute("www.windev.com") doesn't open a browser even with http:// ot https:// as a prefix.. The client's tech support say that Microsoft must have changed something in 2008R2 and its's not their problem. I can't imagine the MS would change something as fundamental as shellexecute() functionality but as it is only url's that don't work maybe there is a security or permissions issue ?
