Answers Database 2.1i COREGEN: CORE Generator Web links may not use the Web browser specified during 2.1i installation Record #6497 Product Family: Software Product Line: Coregen Product Part: Coregen Product Version: 2.1 Problem Title: 2.1i COREGEN: CORE Generator Web links may not use the Web browser specified during 2.1i installation Problem Description: General Description: netscape, explorer, internet, browser, web, coregen Urgency: Standard General Description: When accessing the Web, CORE Generator is not using the preferred Web browser specified during XILINX tools installation. Solution 1: Currently, CORE Generator checks the system registry to determine what the default web browser should be. If your system default browser is not set to what you would like to use with the CORE Generator, you can override this setting by specifying your preferred web browser in the CORE Generator preferences file: Windows: $XILINX\coregen\preferences\coregen_<username>.prf. UNIX: $XILINX/coregen/preferences/coregen_<username>.prf 1. If you have not started up CORE Generator before, start up COREGen. 2. Create a new project. 3. Exit coregen. 4. A file named 'coregen_<username>.prf should now have been created     in the directory,    $XILINX/coregen/preferences. 5. Edit the "browser" settting in this file to point to the location of your      preferred browser:        browser=<path_to_browser_executable> Examples:       Windows: browser = c:\\program files\\netscape\\communi-                  cator\\program\\netscape.exe UNIX: browser = /usr/local/bin/netscape (Note that double backslash path delimiters are required on the PC platform) 6. Exit COREGen and start it up again to make the change take effect. The specified web browser will be used the next time you start up COREGen. End of Record #6497 - Last Modified: 09/28/99 18:58
