v5.0.0.21: Fix failure of web links within Process Lasso on some systems

Posted on 08:46 by Unknown
I've had reports of sporadic failure of the web links within Process Lasso. I've analyzed this situation for a while today and found it rather perplexing. The identical code in older versions would work on a system, but not in the newer version. I thought it might be a variance in the default verb, but that was not the case, as I've always used the default verb (double checked in source repository). Meanwhile, on system Y and Z, there are no problems with either version. Changing the default browser doesn't seem to matter. I speculate it may have something to do with the security software, but this makes little sense too. Strange. Anyway, I wrote some code to directly find the default web browser and open it. This seems to work much better. Of course, if it fails I defer to ShellExecute. So, this is now fixed.

Users should remember -- You need not grab every update. Just turn on the Automatic Updates and you need not worry with keeping Process Lasso up to date at all. Of course, it does not check for updates every day - the interval is actually every 3 days, or now 2 days with this update.

I say this because I don't want users to go crazy trying to keep up with every minor update. Most are NOT important to the majority of users. I simply want to make sure the latest and greatest code is always available. After all -- as I said, why wait?
