101. n easy way to run your program Most setup creation utilities can create setup packages that will add your program to the Windows Start Menu or create a shortcut on the Desktop to your program or both If your program is an IVM executable then there is a slight problem you will need to overcome The problem is that Windows right out of the box does not know how to run Irie Virtual Machine IVM executables One way to deal with this problem is to teach Windows how to run IVM executables This is done by creating an association in Windows between the extension ivm and the IVM Interpreter i e tell Windows that the IVM Interpreter should be used to execute open files with the ivm extension When Irie Pascal is installed on a computer this association is automatically created however if Irie Pascal is not being installed then the setup package will have to create this association If your setup creation utility allows you to create associations then this is a good choice You can then have the Start Menu entry or Shortcut on the Desktop refer directly to your program e Another way to deal with this problem is to create a batch file that will execute the IVM Interpreter and pass your program as an argument For example if you program is named hello ivm then the batch file could contain the line ivm hello ivm You would then point the Start Menu entry or the shortcut on the Desktop at the batch file instead of at your program NOTE If yo
