LTspice Help

 

Hi,
?
I tried to access LTspice Help Menu this morning to check the syntax of a Directive, but found that? Help on the top bar of LTspice (left clicking on LTspice Menu)? opens a Notepad file with the first lines as follows ....
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
I'm sure this used to open a web page to the LTspice Menu.
Is this a LTspice change or have I stuffed up some settings in my PC eg default settings?? ? I have dug around in App settings for Notepad .txt files but to no avail ... and my computer knowledge ends there.
I am running Windows 11 (updated) and LTspice 24.0.12
?
At least I am trying to read the Help Menu .... :) :)? ,??? Ian

Sounds like your installation went sour, or that your computer is not set up to display HTML correctly.? I think it should have gone to your web browser, not to Notepad.? Maybe your computer has the wrong file associations.

Older versions of LTspice used the Microsoft Windows Help utility, but that does not apply here.

Hi,
?
Yes, I normally end up at a web browser. ??
I have been searching for a source to re-download 24.012.? ADI seems to only allow downloads to the latest version.? I stay away from the latest of anything ... and I would like to retain compatibility with an older Windows 10 PC running 24.0.12.
I did find a couple of sites offering 24.012 downloads but I have no idea of their trustworthiness.? Is there a reputable source of older Versions for downloads??? Or am I stuck with upgarding both computers to 24.1.6??
?
Thanks,
Ian

Have you looked at our group's main webpage?? It has links to a few of the older versions on it, including version 24.0.12.

See above.? I would rate that very trustworthy.

Ian,

Analog Devices also still hosts old versions directly on their site.

Hi Andy and esims,
?
Re: this Group web site .... I searched the Files, Database and Wiki sections but did not think to look in the Home page .... :(
Re: Analog Devices .... I have searched that site several times and only found this page ?? which is 24.1.6? or LTspice XVII ... :(
That said, I can download 24.0.12 from both sources.
?
I tried the "Repair" option provided in the LTspice download ... no change;? I did an Uninstall and Re-install with the same outcome.??
?
LTspice Help Menu did function on this laptop until recently ..... so my problem must be some File/Program Property(??) that I have selected wittingly or unwittingly ... veeeerrryyyy frustrating that I don't understand this stuff sufficiently to fix it myself ... I will delve into File associations and?html .... gulp.
?
Thanks,
Ian
 

Problem fixed ... found out how to make Microsoft Edge open .html files, instead of Notepad, in my Laptop App Settings ... bingo ... I must have set up Notepad as the Default when I was adding 3rd party models to my Spice Libraries.? Another Brick in the Wall.
Ian ... :)
