How to Enable Logging
World Clock version
6.0.0.4881 and above will output debug information to a separately running
logger.exe application, assuming you have log.dll in the system, and logger.exe running. Release versions of World Clock are not distributed with log.dll or logger.exe.
If you need to investigate a program crash or another problem, feel free to
request these components. To see debug output:
- Put log.dll in program install directory.
- Run logger.exe.
- Restart World Clock. Debug information should now be displayed by the logger app. If you need to see debug info from the Time Synchronization service, restart it too.
World Clock versions between 5.8.1.4612 - 6.0.0.4880 used a registry value to determine whether to log to a file as described below. To enable logging of debug information in these versions create the following DWORD registry value:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Anuko\World Clock\logging
Set it to 1 to enable logging. Restart World Clock for your change to take effect. When logging is enabled, the program will display the following warning on start.
