Hi
I suspect that most people should be doing global installs, and that local installs should be a secondary option. Not having write access
So is that a vote in favour of doing global installs by default on windows or not? Does anyone know what happens when you try to do a global install on Vista? I only have access to Win2k3 (as non-admin).
A vote in favour of global installs if possible. On Vista you will probably get an incredibly annoying alert from the OS, although I think most real developers will turn that feature off in the first 5 minutes.
So for the case that we do not have write permission for Program Files and we do have to do a local install, what directory would you suggest we use?
No idea. I guess there are arguments both ways, so I'd stick with how it is currently. However, the GHC and Hugs installers should probably both add these extra locations to the %PATH% environment variable. Thanks Neil
