Bugs:
#1914Clearly, you have installed Minsky as Administrator (All users). But when run it as a normal user, you won't have privileges to install the Ravel plugin in a system area.
The most obvious solution is to uninstall "ravel" from the settings>apps dialog, then install it for just "current user". There is a new version out yesterday 3.24.0 that defaults to current user, and with no elevation, so you'd need to deliberately run the installer "as administrator" to install in a system location. 3.23.0 tried to be friendly towards installing it in a system location, leading to unanticipated consequences.
The other option is to run Ravel "as administrator" (right mouse click on desktop icon), and the you will find the Ravel plugin installs. Again a deliberate option, more suited to system administrators.
Yes, you are correct. This is on my laptop, so the last time I used it I
must have done the Administrator install. I've just done the update and
install with the latest beta, and there were no issues after I chose to
install for just me.
