I've found many Python references to this same problem.

And for a LONG time .. no solutions.

But then ...

http://markmail.org/message/i4bfvxifqwnqmypr =>
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;321788

Add the registry setting as described.

All working.

This should also work for perl, python, ruby, etc.


Just going to retest (remove the entry).

If all goes well, phpdoc will be updated today too.

Ta bloody da!

Richard.
