How can I start new session in SecureCRT new tab instead another instance of program?

[fomik2]

Hi,
I've installed windows integrated pack and run win7_64bit_crt. When I click on switch icon or router icon in EVE-NG SecureCRT run instead Putty. It's ok. It's situation what I want. But I want new session open in new tab but instead another SecureCRT instance run.
My OS is Win7_64x.

if you are using FireFox browser and you sure you have installed SecureCRT reg file,
Then you have to go to firefox option/applications/telnet

And you have to be sure that CRT is set with name default beside.

But Chrome must work by default with tabbed session.
Be sure you have installed right CRT reg file which is included in our winpack for eve.
winpack is downloadable here in our site

Open your SecureCRT and press the following in sequence:

Options -> Global Options... -> Terminal -> Connect sessions in tabs

Hi,

Workaround doesn't seem to work.
Have you any method to open tabs instead secureCRT instances when connecting to devices member of a lab ?

I just found the solution:

SecureCRT version 8.3.1
EVE-NG version 2.0.3-86
Windows version 10

For SecureCRT standalone in a Windows CMD window:
reg add HKCR\VanDyke.SecureCRT.URLHandler.1\shell\open\command /d "\"C:\Program Files\VanDyke Software\SecureCRT\SecureCRT.exe\" /T %1" /F
For SecureCRT/FX bundled in a Windows CMD windows:
reg add HKCR\VanDyke.SecureCRT.URLHandler.1\shell\open\command /d "\"C:\Program Files\VanDyke Software\Clients\SecureCRT.exe\" /T %1" /F

hoping that this could have helped you.

I have the same problem, but mine used to work until I ran the latest "win10_64bit_sCRT.reg" on my Win10Pro machine. My SecureCRT version is 6.5.4 x64 build 555. None of my browsers open the devices ins tabbed SecureCRT, every node opens a new instance of SecureCRT.. I tried your registry entry (reg add HKCR\VanDyke.SecureCRT.URLHandler.1\shell\open\command /d "\"C:\Program Files\VanDyke Software\SecureCRT\SecureCRT.exe\" /T %1" /F) on my Windows10, but it's still not working.

Anyone else have this problem? Is there a fix?

Thanks

You can find the "single instance" option in your SecureCRT Global.ini file. By default, the Global.ini file is stored in the following location:

C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\VanDyke\Config\Global.ini

To enable the single instance setting, you can open the .ini
file with notepad and change the following line from:

D:"Single Instance"=00000000
to
D:"Single Instance"=00000001


This should do it

Thanks, but that change causes the following:

Open R1 in lab - securecrt opens a session
Open R2 in lab - securecrt displays R1 in same window, no new session
Open R3 in lab - securecrt displays R1 in same window, no new session

So basically, only one session of securecrt opens, not multiple and not in tab, no matter which node I select, it always display the first node I selected.

No idea why this is happening, it change when I installed the latest windowspack from EVE-NG.

Thanks though.

By the way, I don't want the "single instance," of securecrt, I want securecrt to open the EVE lab devices in "Tabs.' Like I stated, this worked before I mistakenly decided to use the latest windowspack .reg file on EVE-NG. Could be another coincidence, but I'm not able to resolve this.

Single instance exactly means that your sessions are TABBED in SINGLE CRT window.
But issue if on click opens only R1, is your PC settings and CRT cfg problem...
Looks..that you have lost in 2 trees.
I have attached exact steps what must be done on your PC get working CRT.

but if you still have issues, visit live chat to find me.

Thanks for that UD, but "URL:telnet" in step 6 of your pdf doesn't show in my "Choose Apps by protocol," perhaps a recent Windows 10 update caused this? Searched for a solution, but can't find one.
