I agree that the System install option should behave correctly, however it is possible for multiple users to share a custom (or standard) install too: http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/System/Installation/Special%20Installations > > I imagine the next installer will rectify (3). > > Yep, that's what I was suggesting (you don't need to update profile.ijs > btw, > just config/folders.cfg). Does that ensure the existence of the ~snap folder?

AFAIK the JHS ide is functional out-of-the-box including an icon (in start menu). Most of the Addon installs/updates should be possible using the JHS ide GUI if preferred. My preference would be to retain the option of a minimalistic install (without all addons or Gtk binaries) as well. Note that if you want to install all the addons you can use: install 'all' instead of: install 'gtkide' This works as well: load 'pacman' 'install' jpkg 'all' ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
