Best handled with documentation I think, "if this affects you, try installing somewhere else like C:\Apps\Leo". People can get touchy about programs touching the top of C: automatically.
Pip <http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/installing.html> will put Leo in the python Site-packages folder and leo.exe and leoc.exe launchers in the Scripts folder (leoc means with console/cmd window), though this method doesn't create Start Menu shortcuts or handle file associations so it's not for everybody. -matt On Sat, Nov 16, 2013 at 5:59 PM, gatesphere <[email protected]> wrote: > On 11/16/2013 8:57 PM, Largo84 wrote: > > Ahh, good catch.
