Using graphs and MS Graph.exe

by  ChrisMc  Posted    (Edited  )
FPW26 expects to find the location of GRAPH.EXE in WIN.INI
Assuming it's installed in C:\WINDOWS\MSAPPS\MSGRAPH the entry would be

[MSAPPS]
msapps=c:\windows\msapps

It's well documented that GRAPH version 3 works better than 5 and that both versions on the same machine will cause problems - the solution is to remove 5

You may also need entries in the Registry - if so, they are

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT

MSGRAPH
Protocol
StdExecute
Server "C:\WINDOWS\MSAPPS\MSGRAPH\GRAPH.EXE"
StdFileEditing
RequestDataFormats "Native,CF_METAFILEPICT"
Server "C:\WINDOWS\MSAPPS\MSGRAPH\GRAPH.EXE"
SetDataFormats "Native,CF_TEXT"

The part enclosed in quotes is the key value - don't included the quotes.

Repeat the same entries in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
