Yes the options are great. If the permissions issues end up being sorted out, I wonder if the installation under HOME might actually be better labelled "non-administrator" rather than "single-user" ? > I have slowly become more comfortable with the curious behavior of Program > Files in Vista and it is practially a first class citizen in the current > version. > The nasty anomolies that bothered me go away as long as the installer and > JAL insist on running as admin if the install is in Program Files.

Am I right that the new installer should prompt me to elevate its permissions, like other installation and maintenance operations? If so, unfortunately it didn't seem to work for me. The first time I ran the install and chose to install in Program Files, it asked me if I wanted to create the folder. I said yes and then the installer disappeared - no folder was created. I tried running the installer using "Run as administrator" - it worked fine. I deleted the folder and I tried to install again without "Run as administrator", but this time it just reported: Create folder failed: "C:\Program Files\j602" I didn't get prompted to elevate the permissions for the installer at any time. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
