I pretty sure windows has some environment variable for the localized version of Program Files. Personally I wouldn't mind if the default is just c:\gretl and we can change it to what we want at install time. The whole thing is really no big deal and maybe too involved to get right; the My Documents thing could be tricky: installation is from an admin account, but the user will in general be somebody else. I find those installers optimal which ask "install for all users?" and work accordingly. There are many windows programs that don't get it right and implicitly expect you to work as admin, which is a pita. -sven
