I apologize for posting this message here but have seen that is not possible to attach pictures under the topic "SMath Studio 0.97.5154 (10 February 2014)".

At least on my computer running both the releases of Smath Studio Desktop I see that clicking on the help menu choice shows up the below error message and the only options to open the handbook is to follow this approach: Tool -> PlugIn -> Interactive Books and then double click on Interactive Smath Handbook.

Best Regards

Franco

Confirmed

To fix the issue edit the settings.inf file;

change these two lines from:
DefaultInteractiveTutorial=D:\FHB\Software\SMath\2014 02 10 SMath 0.97.5154 Portable\extensions\books\be8ed228-7b9f-4d88-9521-f6039e697cd5\88\contents.sm
Recent=D:\FHB\Software\SMath\Activebook\activebook\_Diag.sm|D:\FHB\Software\SMath\Activebook\activebook\_Min.sm|D:\FHB\Software\SMath\Activebook\activebook\Wish List.sm|D:\FHB\Software\SMath\Activebook\activebook\Algsys.sm|D:\FHB\Software\SMath\SMath Skript\SMath\Maxima\Update9.sm|D:\FHB\Forschung\Havelux\2014 02 06 Stauchversuch\Stauchung.sm|D:\FHB\Software\SMath\SMath Skript\Bilder\Maxima-draw-filledcurves_new.sm|D:\FHB\Software\SMath\SMath Skript\Bilder\Maxima-draw-filledcurves.sm|D:\FHB\Software\SMath\SMath Skript\SMath\Erste Schritte.sm|D:\FHB\Software\SMath\SMath Skript\Bilder\Draw2D3D.sm|D:\FHB\Software\SMath\Activebook\activebook\Maxima.sm|D:\FHB\Software\SMath\Activebook\activebook\contents.sm|D:\FHB\Software\SMath\2014 02 10 SMath 0.97.5154 Portable\extensions\books\be8ed228-7b9f-4d88-9521-f6039e697cd5\81\_Diag.sm
to:
DefaultInteractiveTutorial=.\extensions\books\be8ed228-7b9f-4d88-9521-f6039e697cd5\88\contents.sm

this can be made directly by Martin (the second line removed is just to clean the "recent files" menu)


in the same way you can simply change the portable distribution language editing
Language=GER
Units=ger
to
Language=ENG
Units=eng



best regards,

Davide

Hello

I just fixed this by choosing the Interactive SMath Habdbook as the default one from the extension manager.
The language of course can ba also changed from the Tools->options menu

Regards,
Radovan

EDIT - By the way, running "SMathStudio_Desktop_64bit_only.exe" on my x64 machine will cause an unhandled exception.

Good, however an error message is a source of reports, so I think is better to fix the issue at the source

I know, but if you don't know where is located phisically the menu, may be not so easy

Done. Unofficial portable version updated. Settings file now contains relative links, which should work everywhere.

Preset is english for UI and units.

That's why the 32bit-compatible version is included. If you really want to use the 64bit version, then you can either ignore the error or remove the EFI for Mathcad plugin directory.
