The J602 installer for Windows offers three choices none of which is what I want: I want to install for all users, but NOT in c:\Program Files. The best I could do was to install as a single user and to select the program installation directory I wanted, D:\Language\j602\bin\j.exe.

But I do NOT want to keep any user files in

C:\[user]\j602-user

but rather inside the the single Juser directory that I want to specify, just like I always have before (with recent releases) by means of suitable configuration files include a profile.ijs -- see below.

I note that the installer did create C:\[user]\j602-user but except for 4 empty subdirectories, that directory is completely empty.

The J program shortcut I use has target

D:\Language\j602\bin\j.exe -jprofile d:\language\Juser\config6\myprofile.ijs

and starts in the installation directory, d:\language\j602.

The myprofile.ijs referred to above includes:

  NB. create SYSTEMFOLDERS
  NB. the entry for binary is added in boot.ijs
  sep=. PATHSEP_j_
  prf=. PROFILE {.~ PROFILE i: sep
  add=. 'd:\language\Jaddons'
  sys=. prf,sep,'system'
  tmp=. 2!:5'JHOME'
  usr=. 'd:\language\Juser'
  cfg=. 'd:\language\Juser\config6'
  hlp=. sys,sep,'extras',sep,'help'
  hom=. (0&e. { ;&prf) 2!:5 'JHOME'
  ids=. ;: 'profile system addons temp user config help home'
  SYSTEMFOLDERS_j_=: ids ,. prf;sys;add;tmp;usr;cfg;hlp;hom

And the version of startup.ijs in that same d:\language\Juser\config6 includes:

  NB. Provide global for environment var JHOME
  HOME_z_=: (2!:5'JHOME'),'\'
  TEMP_j_=: (2!:5'JHOME')

This startup.ijs is what referred to in the entry

  STARTUP=: 'd:\language\Juser\config6\startup.ijs'

in d:\language\Juser\config6\config.ijs.

When I try to start the program using the shortcut as modified, I get error message: "Error and no IDE window for debugging.

What's wrong and how can it be fixed?
