And I am "extremely annoyed" when I install software and it fails to function due to some hidden settings that I shouldn't be required to know anything about. The installer should configure the software so that it actually works out of the box. If the environment variables are not set, it should offer to set them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ GnuWin32-Users mailing list GnuWin32-Users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gnuwin32-users
