Right, for a patch like this, which requires trying it out on a few different Windows machines, it would be very helpful to get feedback. There have been other changes to the Windows installer, which might make it work better. However, this kind of change can fail in 1 out of 100 installations, especially on old PCs. Thus I'm careful not to change too much. Perhaps changing the installer could be an item for Vim 7.5. Since there are so many patches for 7.4 now. -- >From "know your smileys": :-& Eating spaghetti /// Bram Moolenaar -- [email protected] -- http://www.Moolenaar.net \\\ /// sponsor Vim, vote for features -- http://www.Vim.org/sponsor/ \\\ \\\ an exciting new programming language -- http://www.Zimbu.org /// \\\ help me help AIDS victims -- http://ICCF-Holland.org /// -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
