I don't install in the 'usual' manner, but rather have a e.g. 'c:\vim \' directory where the executable is in 'c:\vim\bin' and the runtime is in 'c:\vim\runtime'. My special runtime files are in 'c:\vim\global'. Don't ask, it's to support various needs of different people. Anyway, vim has never been happy with my layout. I do set VIMRUNTIME in the _vimrc file -- however, it needs to be set *before* _vimrc is sourced, because ... well, I suppose the gettext initialization happens early so that any messages appear correctly. In any case, it's not too onerous to set it in the environment, but... it makes installation a bit more fragile than it could be. BTW, I do also set VIM to e.g. 'c:\vim\bin'. > ...that's one more proof (if I needed any) that Gates & Co. don't > understand a thing to what security means No argument from me. I use Linux almost exclusively... but I support users on a variety of Windows flavors, and I need to be able to deploy nicely on them.
