Hi,  
I have BC installed. If I add a BC action fron the Files and Directories list, and set the files for comparison and run…I get an error  
"No path to the executable has been provided"  
  
After searching the help file I still cannot locate where this is set.  
  
Anyone know where this is set ?  
  
cheers  
Paul

Tools/Options from the menu, then expand Other - there should be an entry for Beyond Compare where you can set the path to the Beyond Compare exe.

Hi Pauls,  
  
I fixed the error message so it’s a little less cryptic. Thanks for pointing it out.
