As I tried to get across in my last post, I think j602bbeta is actually
very good at making multiple-user installations very easy - copy the
Start Menu shortcuts folder to All Users and you're golden. No editing
of shortcuts or profile.ijs required! And if you need to edit
profile.ijs , its simplification and the changes in nomenclature of
PROFILE to BINPATH etc, also make understanding and editing it much less
confusing.

The only minor quibble I have is where in the user's data store, the J
userdata should be installed (by default) on Windows. I understand
however that this might not be easily rectified without getting into OS
version detection (which doesn't seem simple), but think that by adding
the option to specify the location of userdata at installation, a number
of different scenarios (usb, redirected Documents/My Documents folder)
could also be handled "out of the box".
