Hi
If you think unprivileged per-user installs are just a bad idea on windows then say so and we can switch to doing global installs by default on windows. Perhaps it's only me who does not have write access to the Program Files directory on any windows machine.
I suspect that most people should be doing global installs, and that local installs should be a secondary option. Not having write access to Program Files is an issue though, which I think Vista may make worse, by restricting privilaged operations from more people. Ideally, you want to do a local install on Windows if you can't create a folder in C:\Program Files, and a global install if you can. Is that too crazy for a piece of logic? It's certainly less predictable... Thanks Neil
