whistler 2211 name fail

Post by ermgerd »

I would imagine this had already been found but I noticed something they forgot in the whistler 2211 build on the help and support section...

so yeah, something small I found in here where they didn't change the name from neptune to whistler, guess they never changed this since there was no point in this area :/

Help Center was pretty much just lifted from a Neptune build (5111 or some other) and left unchanged until Whistler build 2250, when the default location for bug reports was changed from C:\neptune_bugs to C:\whistler_bugs. Mind you that the version number displayed on the bug report page is 5.00.00.5117 in Whistler builds 2211 and 2223, but was later changed to 5118 in 2250, and even later on to 5119 and 5120. HC is just one of several things that got carried over from Neptune straight into early Whistler builds, though much of that was partially or completely rewritten later on in development.

It's also worth noting that Neptune's Help Center is itself a port from some Windows ME build (around 2400 or slightly after that IIRC).

yeah I noticed it's the same on some later versions of whistler as well.
