TDK XRef is not using Komodo

Last week I installed the TDK on my Vista 64 bit system, mostly to help and understand a Tcl package that was handed to me. I read that the Cross reference tool would use Komodo if it was installed, so I downloaded and intalled Komodo, but the TDK still uses its internal, non-syntax highlighting editor to display the text.

How do I fix that? Do I need to reinstall the TDK?

Thanks.

Hello fotoguru ...

The TDK currently assumes that the Komodo executable is called 'komodow(.exe)' and that it can be found in the PATH.

Querying the Komodo Team it seems that they have changed the name of the executable in their recent releases to 'komodo(.exe)' and/or 'ko(.exe)'.

This change causes TDK to not find Komodo and keep using its internal display.

Please file a bug against the Tcl Dev Kit at
