Re: [Dev-C++] Windows failure on Package install

Mr. Tomcat -

>        I downloaded Devc++ 4980, went to vUpdate and got the critical
update...  ...Next, I used the new web updater to download the updates there,
and sure enough it downloads. Right after it says "Now they will be installed",
I get the Blue Screen of Death (the "Press any button to continue, or
Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart". I cant get them to install!

The same thing happened to me.  I (after rebooting my computer) just renamed the
downloaded file to "devcpp.exe."  That works fine.  The Dev-C++ Update mechanism
has a rather nasty failure mode, doesn't it?

I blame the fact that I rearranged some directories recently and Dev-C++ didn't
know where home was.
